The First Men In The Moon

Event information

Embark on a hilarious cosmic adventure with a penniless playwright, and a potty professor in this
uproarious adaptation of HG Wells’ classic, where moon creatures and typewriters collide!
Meet Bedford, an aspiring playwright on the edge of bankruptcy, and Professor Cavor, a scientific genius on
the verge of a discovery that will either change or (just as likely) destroy the world.
From the sleepy Kent countryside of 1919 the unlikely duo board a homemade metal space sphere, armed
only with avarice and ambition, and boldly go where no one-man show has gone before. Will they find life?
Probably, but not as we know it. 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.
Written and performed by South West based theatre maker Mark Jardine, this adaptation of The First Men
in the Moon is a comic and thrillingly dramatic ride through a Sci-Fi classic from the pen of HG Wells.
