The First Men in the Moon - Theatre

Mark Jardine Company

Suitable for age 12+

The First Men in the Moon is a comically dramatic ride through a Sci-Fi classic by HG Wells. In 1919 Bedford, a penniless playwright on the edge of bankruptcy and Professor Cavor, a scientific genius on the verge of a world-changing discovery, embark on 'the greatest journey ever made’. The unlikely duo, armed with avarice and ambition, set off in a metal sphere to boldly go where no one-man show has gone before. The First Men in the Moon is a show packed with comic creativity, dramatic twists and turns, Selenite moon creatures and a Hermes 2000 typewriter.
