About the event
It's 1919 and Bedford, a penniless playwright, moves to a country cottage in Kent convinced that he is capable of writing of ‘a very good play’. However, his new neighbour Professor Cavor is a scientific genius on the verge of discovering a substance that will change (or possibly destroy) the world. Thrown together by chance, the unlikely duo form a bond, forged from Bedford’s avarice and Professor Cavor’s ambition, and set off in a metal sphere to boldly go where no men have gone before. Will our intrepid explorers find life? Probably, but not as we know it
Written and performed by Mark Jardine, this new stage adaptation of The First Men in the Moon is a riotously comic and thrillingly dramatic ride through a Sci-Fi classic from the pen of HG Wells.
