War of the Worlds (On a Budget)

The musical-comedy, action adventure we didn’t know we needed!

War of the Worlds (On a Budget) is the perfect show for comedy and music lovers, students, fans of Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds, and theatregoers who are looking for a great night out!

Lamphouse Theatre will bring their five star, Pick of the Fringe, musical comedy version of War of the Worlds to [VENUE] in [MONTH]. Featuring just one actor, War of the Worlds (on a budget) will parody Jeff Wayne’s epic arena tour and Tom Cruise’s Hollywood film while paying homage to HG Wells’ original story.

With a full soundtrack of brand new music, plus a loop pedal, lots of cardboard props, plenty of laughs and many hats, this take on the famous disaster story will be more hectic than heroic. Clowning, comedy, music and improvisation will ensure a side splitting night out: Lamphouse’s unique style, of devised comedy based on well-known stories, will be a crowd-pleaser. Producer Becky Owen-Fisher said, “War of the Worlds (on a budget) encompasses everything we do best, from epic music to slightly disappointing cardboard props and one actor desperately trying to tell an enormous story while everything falls down around them.”

Lamphouse Theatre are a devising theatre company who specialise in clown, improvisation and live music. Lamphouse tells epic stories in intimate settings, packed with live music, comedy and spontaneity. They perform with a playful mischief and work with clowns, comedians, musicians and movers to create funny, exciting and heart-warming stories collaboratively.
