At a small rural train station three people arrive separately on the platform. They are waiting for the next train and strangely, they all have the same suitcase…
Potty old porters, waitresses serving the world’s worst sandwiches and the never ending lost and found department are only the start of the adventure.
As time tick-tocks onwards, the old Tannoy announces the train is delayed, and the accidental companions experience increasingly unusual events. Where is the train? Will it arrive? Who knows what might happen next?
As suitcases get muddled, we find ourselves immersed in a quest to discover more about who the three passengers might be and what they are up to. The Case of the Curious Suitcase is a show bursting with fun and visual fantasy, waiting for a train will never be the same!
Suitable for: 5-11 year olds and their families
Running time: approx. 60mins (no interval)
Ideal for: arts centres, theatres, schools and community settings.
