The Pantaloons Theatre Company present The War of the Worlds at Ledbury's Market Theatre on Saturday, March 24.

“No one would have believed in the last years of the 19th century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s”

And fewer would have believed in the first years of the 21st century that H.G. Wells’ science fiction classic would be performed live by just four actors with intelligences lesser than average...

The brilliant Pantaloons invade the stage in this funny yet faithful new adaptation as they use musical instruments, puppetry and, um, enthusiasm to re-create deadly heat-rays, giant fighting-machines, squidgy tentacled Martians and interplanetary warfare on an epic scale. The chances of success? A million to one...

"Part alternative rock band, part thespian... wholly charming" declared The Times.

The War of the Worlds will be at The Market Theatre on Saturday, March 24 at 8pm. To book, call the box office on 07967 517125 or visit themarkettheatre.com
