Presented by National Youth Theatre

Inspired by H.G. Wells’ sci-fi novel and Orson Welles’ classic radio play, this legendary science fiction thriller is playfully reimagined for our era of Fake News and ‘alternative facts.’ The internet has replaced the radio as the medium through which we make sense of the world. We remain just as susceptible … 

Award-winning theatre company Rhum and Clay devised the Offie-nominated and critically acclaimed The War of The Worlds in 2019 with Olivier Award-nominated Isley Lynn. After selling out a five-week run in London and a four-week run in Edinburgh the show toured the UK and internationally to critical acclaim.

As we approach the 2024 US election and fake news continues to dominate the headlines The War of the Worlds is back in a new production in partnership with the NYT REP Company, featuring 18 of Britain’s most exciting young performers from around the UK. The National Youth Theatre return to Wilton’s Music Hall following previous successful collaborations on Zigger Zagger and Silence.
Originally Commissioned by New Diorama Theatre

Created by Rhum and Clay
And written with Isley Lynn, Most Promising Playwright at the 2023 Evening Standard Awards
Directed by Hamish Macdougall & Julian Spooner
Movement Director: Matt Wells
Starring Britain’s best young talent from the NYT REP Company

Age Guidance: 12+
Content information: Contains some strong language
Everyone is welcome at this performance, and we take a calm approach to movement and noise in the audience.
