Metro stars at Newcastle Theatre Royal

Oct 1, 2024
A life-sized replica of a Tyne and Wear Metro train is set to wow audiences at Newcastle’s Theatre Royal this week.
The mocked-up Metro prototype, carriage 4001, in its familiar 1980s colour scheme, is the centrepiece for Gerry and Sewell - a play which tells the story of two Gateshead lads who are desperate to see their team, Newcastle United, play at home.
The Metro themed set has made the switch to the bigger stage after starring at the Live Theatre last year.
The Metro train, along with its famous Metro logo and station cube, make up the set for Gerry and Sewell, a production, which is running at the Theatre Royal all this week, 2-5 October.
