Overview
“Where should we go, then?”
Sussex, 1913. When Professor Challenger predicts that Earth is heading unstoppably towards a deadly gas cloud, Ned Malone must journey to Rotherfield to investigate the end of the world. Trapped in a single room with his old companions, Malone watches the terrifying events unfold – with only enough oxygen to last until morning.
Arthur Conan Doyle’s hair-raising tale is as thrilling and relevant today as it was a century ago. Adapted by the Company, Creative Associate Becca Chadder directs the first UK adaptation of this classic science fiction tale for today’s world.
