Laura Whitmore has been showing off her acting chops recently.
She appeared on Queenie on screen as well on stage here in Ireland in 2:22: A Ghost Story.
And now she will return to the stage with The Girl on the Train when it comes to Bord Gáis Energy Theatre next year.
Her performances in the gripping thriller, based on the internationally acclaimed number one best-selling novel by Paula Hawkins will run at the theatre from Monday 25th August until Saturday 30th August 2025. Tickets priced from €21.50 are on sale now through Ticketmaster.
On joining the tour, Laura says: “I read the book when it first came out and I was obsessed by it. I love it when you find a book and all you can think about is that story. You wake up a little bit earlier to read the book and stay up too late to finish it. I am excited to show people my portrayal of Rachel next summer.”
The synopsis of the play reads: “Rachel Watson longs for a different life. Her only escape is the perfect couple she watches through the train window every day, happy and in love. Or so it appears.
“When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as a witness and even a suspect in a thrilling mystery in which she will face bigger revelations than she could ever have anticipated.”
