The Market Deeping Model Railway Club's chances of victory at the Annual Show have been ripped apart by vandals, and the group must rally to piece their miniature world back together.
When their story goes global, Chairman Graham, his long-suffering wife Linda and the eclectic bunch of enthusiasts must face the question: what exactly is it about their everyday lives that makes recreating the England of the past in miniature so appealing?
Based on a true story, William Ivory's play The Market Deeping Model Railway Club is a warm and witty celebration of community, friendship and British eccentricity. It is premiered at Nottingham Playhouse in 2026, directed by Adam Penford.
Wiliam Ivory is a BAFTA-nominated screenwriter, playwright and actor. His work for the screen includes Made in Dagenham and The Great Escaper, and for the stage includes Bomber's Moon and Diary of a Football Nobody.
