Paula Hawkins Tickets

Paula Hawkins is perhaps best known as the author of the bestselling novel The Girl on the Train, which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide and was adapted into a successful film in 2016. However, Hawkins' writing career actually began in the theater, where she worked as a freelance writer and wrote several plays.

Hawkins started out as a financial journalist but soon turned her attention to writing fiction, initially focusing on short stories. She then began writing plays, and her first produced work was called Confessions of a Drunken Romantic. This play was produced at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1998 and later staged in London's West End.

Hawkins went on to write several more plays, including Cellist Dreams, a one-act play that won a competition and was subsequently produced at the Bush Theatre in London. She also wrote The Money Note, which was commissioned by the Soho Theatre and later toured the UK.

Despite her success in the theater world, Hawkins eventually turned to writing novels. Her first novel, The Understudy, was published in 2009, followed by its sequel, The Reunion, in 2011. However, it wasn't until the publication of The Girl on the Train in 2015 that Hawkins became an international sensation.

Interestingly, The Girl on the Train has been adapted for the stage as well. A play based on the novel premiered in the UK in 2019 and is set to tour the country in 2021. The play was written by Rachel Wagstaff and Duncan Abel and features a new female-led creative team.

Despite her focus on writing novels in recent years, Hawkins has remained connected to the theater world. In fact, she recently revealed in an interview with the Edinburgh Evening News that she is working on a new play. While she didn't reveal any details about the play's plot or production plans, she did say that it would be a "big drama."

In conclusion, while Paula Hawkins may be best known for her bestselling novels, she has also made a significant impact in the theater world. Her plays have been produced in London's West End and other theaters around the UK, and her most famous novel has been adapted for the stage. With a new play in the works, it's clear that Hawkins' connection to the theater world is as strong as ever.
