The Time Machine

  • Show Information

Direct from its London run, the must-see comedy of 2023 comes to the Northcott this spring!

Possibly one of the best nights out ever!” ★★★★★ –  West End Best Friend

Join George, 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 George 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…….*
