The Time Machine – Online Stream


Original Theatre

Three figures stand together in the centre of the image, all of them looking comically serious or in awe. A large clock face is behind them and two of the figures hold the clock hands. The third holds a smoke machine, emitting a bright blue smoke that circles around the front of them. A large blue title reads 'The Time Machine, a comedy' and further text around the image reads 'Michael Dylan, Star of the Goes Wrong Show Dave Hearn, Amy Revelle, 4 stars - 'gloriously silly, unrestrained fun' from The Stage' and '5 stars - 'one of the best nights out ever!' from West End Best Friend. A small orange circle on the image reads 'Very loosely adapted from the novel by HG Wells.'

Join Dave, Amy and Michael for the premiere of their brand-new version of The Time Machine!

H. G. Wells’  comic deadly serious masterpiece will never be the same again as this hapless highly skilled group of actors embark on a journey of a lifetime!

 

Will Dave persuade the others to stick to the script he’s worked so hard on?

Will Michael be able to explain time travel without the help of excessive props?

Will Amy get to sing her Cher tribute?

And ultimately… will they be able to defeat the space-time paradox – or at least get through the second half?

 

All to be revealed…*
