What I liked

I was so impressed with the level of professionalism of this show. It’s one of the most perfectly timed, well-crafted, funny, clever, and moving shows I’ve seen in ages. Kudos to the entire cast and artistic team for this fantastic show! The puppets are really special and ultimately heartbreaking, which I just would not have expected from this wild and weird primary text from H. G. Wells. The acting is exceptional – not a miss from anyone, but I particularly want to shout out the Time Traveler and the Author. Oh, another shout out to the director who also adapted the show from the novel — IDK how he did it so well, but it’s sheer perfection. Also I LOVE the costuming.

What I didn't like

Nothing! It’s amazing all the way through.

My overall impression

Brilliantly executed, funny, moving, inventive, absolutely professional and just so awesome! Definitely go see it!
