After the success of 2025's 'The Ladykillers' and 2026's 'Kind Hearts and Coronets', the Marlborough have decided to complete a trilogy by bringing another Ealing Film Comedy to the Brentwood School Memorial Hall stage in 2027. 

In this play, set in the 1950s, and finding that their branch railway line will be axed, a group of villagers decide to buy the railway and run it themselves. Now they must convince the railway authorities they are competent, and compete against a planned bus service. 

Lindsey Crutchett will direct, in her second outing for the Club, and held auditions on Wednesday 2 September and Monday 7 September 2026, 7:30pm, at Brentwood School Sports Centre, CM15 8EE. 

Casting decisions are in progress and we will update with a cast list as soon as we are able. There may still be a chance to be involved, so do get in touch with Lindsey via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you are interested.
