About this show
August 1963. One train. £2.6 million. And a plan bold enough to change British criminal history forever. A gang of ordinary men attempt an extraordinary heist, stopping the Glasgow to London mail train and vanishing with a fortune. What follows is ambition at full tilt: The Great Train Robbery hurtles through a high-speed, anarchic retelling of Britain’s most infamous heist, and the moment a perfect plan begins to fracture. KCS Theatre Co’s signature blend of razor-sharp realism and cinematic stylisation powers this super-slick, swinging 60s, inventive comedy-thriller. All aboard for the heist of the century!
