War of the Worlds

Four performers enter the stage and construct an epic road movie before our eyes.
In an apocalyptic tale of alien invasion and the destruction of the world as we know it, lines of Brits scrabble to flee across the channel while their cities and towns lie in smoldering ruins.
Using miniature environments and projection, imitating the dog create a thrilling, audacious and timely retelling of H.G. Wells’s classic novel.
Following their acclaimed adaptations of literary classics Heart of Darkness (2018), Dracula (2021), Macbeth (2023) and Frankenstein (2024), ‘multimedia daredevils’ (The Times) imitating the dog push their inventive storytelling to new heights.
