GALAXY TRAIN is a highly original Japanese physical theatre production inspired by Kenji Miyazawa's classic novel Night on the Galactic Railroad. Combining live music, movement, comedy and visual storytelling, the production explores themes of friendship, loss and hope through an imaginative theatrical experience.

The production has previously received multiple five-star reviews at Brighton Fringe and is presented at the Edinburgh Fringe following a successful UK tour.
