Join us on 24 August for an evening of comedy, a side-splitting farcical ride and a hot pie & pea supper!
The evening starts with you arriving at Leeming Bar for 6.30pm, you then board the train, have the opportunity to buy a drink at the bar and then it’s time to take your seat for the 7pm departure! Sit back and enjoy the first half of the play as we travel to Leyburn. 40 minutes later, we will arrive at Leyburn Station, where all passengers will be served a pie & pea supper (a traditional Yorkshire pork pie with red cabbage, onions & gravy) and a choice of tea or coffee. A cheese and onion pie option is also available, if requested at time of booking.
The interval will last about 40 minutes so there’s plenty of time to enjoy your supper, buy a drink from the bar and then use the station toilets before its back on board the train for the second half of the play as we return to Leeming Bar!
The heritage diesel-hauled train departs Leeming Bar station on Monday 24 August at 7pm and returns at 9pm. Please arrive at Leeming Bar for 6.30pm to allow time to be seated.
Play Synopsis:
It's the 1980s. The sleeper train is pulling out of Kings Cross and one very unfortunate junior minister is on board, clutching his resignation speech with absolutely no idea that his career is about to go spectacularly off the rails. Travelling with the hapless minister is his domineering wife, a furious rail executive, a lovesick catering manager, a flamboyant train manager and a Yorkshire honeymooning couple three whiskies in. A reckless late-night fling with a conductor triggers a hilarious chain of mistaken identities, slamming doors, faked deaths and frantic cover-ups that spiral wildly out of control. Explosive, outrageous and silly, Off and On is a high-speed comedy that sends classic farce hurtling into the modern age.
‘Off and On’ is a brand-new farce by Ben Cawood, brought to life by Right Track Theatre - a company of early career artists celebrating the glorious chaos of farce with a fresh take.
Age Guidance: 12+ for best enjoyment. The show contains mild innuendo.
