CALLING all time travellers!

The First Time Machine, presented by Run Ragged Productions, is at The Haymarket on Tuesday, February 17 at 7pm.

The marvellous family show features dance, theatre and live music, and is created and performed by the grandsons of Enrique Gaspar (who invented the very first time machine in his novel El Anacronopete).

Before Doctor Who, before Back to the Future and even predating H.G Wells’ novel of the same title, there was Anacronopete – The First Time Machine.

The show, created by the Brothers Treays (both professional dancers), shares stories of their childhood, the wealth of possessions that make up their grandfather's legacy and the universal desire to get to know our ancestors.

Jem Treays, one of the grandsons and also artistic director of Run Ragged Productions comments: “I wanted to use my experience as a dancer and choreographer to create a time machine onstage.

"We are fortunate to have at our disposal a fantastic family archive of materials with which to create our own machine.

“For us it's about finding the story that's in our blood and most importantly take the audience on an enthralling journey through time.

I also wanted to bring an element of adventure, even Pythonesque humour, to the stage that will thrill our fellow adventurers.”

Hop on-board and join this incredible sci-fi odyssey into the past, with a healthy smattering of deeds of derring-do and even man-eating bears along the way.

Fellow travellers, hold on to your seats!
