Edy Hurst's Comedy Version of The War Of The Worlds

The full title of this show is Edy Hurst's Comedy Version of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of HG 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 is 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.

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 has been performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, London's Museum of Comedy and Buxton Fringe where it was nominated for 'Best Comedy Show'.
