Edy Hurst's Comedy Version of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of H.G. Wells' Literary Version (Via Orson Welles' Radio Version and Steven Spielberg's Film Version) of the War of the Worlds
No one would have believed that in the 125 years since the publication of H.G. Wells' science fiction novel, The War of The Worlds, the novel would find itself under constant threat from the invasion of its own remakes. But fear not - musical comedian Edy Hurst here to defend the earth and finish the story once and for all.
​
Having selflessly sifted through the endless array of remakes, reboots, re-imaginations and rip offs, Edy Hurst is heading out on tour with an interactive, multimedia, comedy rock opera to hilariously unite all retellings.
​
Performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, The National Space Centre, London's Museum of Comedy and Buxton Fringe where it was nominated for 'Best Comedy Show'.
​
The show has been on tour including Lowry, Salford, Attenborough Arts Centre, Artsdepot and St Helens Library service
