Discover how the National Railway Museum in York was transformed into a huge theatre space for an epic play celebrating the history of Britain's railways. When the York Theatre Royal closed for refurbishment, it turned to the railway museum to be the venue for a community stage production involving more than 200 amateur actors. The play, called In Fog and Falling Snow, tells the tale of George Hudson, the 'Railway King', one of the leading pioneers of the steam age. He is played by George Costigan, the only professional actor in the entire cast.
