Theatre
The Steampunk Mistress And The Time Machine
Two brilliant Bristol theatre companies, Closer Each Day Company and Show of Strength, join forces to take audiences on a steampunk voyage through time and space, via this promenade performance aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain.
HG Wells has left his wife to live with his young, scientifically-minded mistress. He’s writing his first novel and if it fails he’s finished. And his personal life is just as fantastic as his fiction – his mistress’s mother is sharing their rented rooms in Sevenoaks.
