The First Men In The Moon

Director

The First Men in the Moon is an adaptation of the sci-fi novel by H.G. Wells. Written and performed by Mark Jardine, Directed by myself, and Produced by Grace Plant, this show is set to be a fun, engaging and entertaining retelling of this classic adventure.

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. In the sleepy English countryside of 1919, the unlikely duo set off in a metal sphere to boldly go where no one-man show has gone before. Will they find life? Probably, but not as we know it.

Written and performed by 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.

The First Men in the Moon will be previewing at the Exeter Phoenix on the 7th June 2024 before heading to the Barnstaple Fringe Festival from the 28th-30th June 2024. To book tickets, click the venue names above!
