What is Isabel?

Isabel and the Runaway Train is the contemporary jazz/folk musical that serves as a platform to discuss the challenging and painful topics of mental health and sexual maltreatment. Through our 90-minute response training workshops and full productions of the Isabel script & score; we create healthy supporter-survivor relationships. Isabel was created by Producer, Composer & Playwright Anna Westbrook. Book an Isabel experience by emailing Isabel.RunawayTrain@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram or Twitter for updates on our community.
