Tales from the Rails

Norman! Norman!

Newfield School Community with Whitworks Adventures in Theatre

Norman! Norman! 

It’s 1912 and 15 year old Norman Cheevers and his mates are trapped on a burning train.

Tales from the Rails are ten short audio dramas researched, written and performed by young people and community members centred around Newfield School, Sheffield. The group researched the history of the Sheffield railway line and used their discoveries to create scripts which they then recorded, with the help and support of Whitworks Adventures in Theatre. The project was supported by East Midlands Railway Community Fund.
