About

H.G. Wells’ sci-fi classic takes on urgent new meaning in this gripping solo performance by Gav Cross. Delivered in the intimate style of a Victorian parlour reading, this 90-minute event plunges audiences into a world torn apart by a merciless Martian invasion. 

With a haunting original soundtrack by Chris Bastock, this powerful reimagining blends timeless storytelling with contemporary resonance, echoing themes of war, fear, and flight that remain deeply relevant today. 

Following a sold-out debut, The War of the Worlds returns with Gav Cross’s bold, chilling performance for an unforgettable evening of grown-up storytelling.
