The War of the Worlds

In Spring 2018 The Pantaloons invade the stage in our most ambitious literary adaptation yet as we use musical instruments, puppetry and, um, enthusiasm to recreate deadly heat-rays, giant fighting-machines, squidgy tentacled Martians and interplanetary warfare on an epic scale.

“Part alternative rock band, part thespian… wholly charming.” (The Times)
