The Time Machine a vibrant new comedy (very) loosely inspired by HG Wells’ genre-defining novel tours the UK

    Original Theatre presents Steven Canny and John Nicholson’s The Time Machine – A Comedy. Following the play’s previously announced forthcoming London première at Park Theatre, it will tour the UK In Feb and March 2024.

    The Time Machine – A Comedy, will star Michael Dylan (Wilf) and Amy Revelle (Offside), who appeared in the 2023 Spring tour and Park Theatre runs. They will be joined by George Kemp (Jack Absolute Flies Again).

    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?

    From the team behind the smash-hit comedy The Hound of the BaskervillesThe Time Machine – A Comedy is directed by Orla O’Loughlin and designed by Fred Meller, with lighting design by Colin Grenfell and Sound Design by Greg Clarke.
