Four tramps huddle together at an abandoned railway station, full of vodka-fuelled dreams of escaping on one of the passing trains. But the trains never stop.

He claims to be the great illusionist Harry Houdini, and promises that together they will perform the most astonishing vanishing act the world has ever seen.
Sixteen gifted students from drama schools across the UK were today awarded almost £53,000 worth of bursaries by the Society of London Theatre (SOLT) in order to help them complete their training. We are delighted to announce the inaugural Clothworkers' Foundation bursary worth a total of £37,500 over five years with £7,500 awarded to a student annually.
