Don’t Panic
A new live version of Douglas Adams’ mind-blowingly imaginative comedy (mis)adventure, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy, lands at Riverside Studios this November.
Join Arthur Dent, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Fenchurch and many more as you escape the destruction of Earth with seconds to spare and begin a search for answers to the mystery of Life, the Universe and Everything, armed only with a towel and one VERY depressed robot.
Warning: Side effects may include sudden existential dread, unexpected hyperspatial detours and a burning desire for a really good cup of tea.
The Show
The night begins in a rather unusual pub as you settle in, drink in hand, for an evening of storytelling and spectacle. From there, the story lifts off – quite literally – as you hitch a ride on a passing spaceship, discover the meaning of life, and join a quest to persuade a group of inter-dimensional mice to give the Earth a second chance.
Brought to life by an award-winning creative team, and featuring a multi-talented company of actors, this inventive take on Douglas Adams’ classic draws from the best examples of immersive, musical theatre, dance and magic to deliver a truly out of this world experience and a complete night out.
BEFORE THE END OF EARTH!
