Performers from Tide No Time Players CIC

Tide Nor Time’s original Christmas spectacle blends panto with sci-fi flair

Tide Nor Time Players CIC would like to invite you to their all new, Christmas musical comedy.

Lance McKrack and his trusty crew must battle the evil Professor Brainovski to save Dr X. Mass before it’s too late and Christmas is stolen from the galaxy. Join our intrepid heroes as they rock their way through the solar system, battle evil cyborgs and try to over-come the dark forces that may destroy the yuletide forever.

Lance McKrack and the Dr X. Mass Adventure is a wholly Island production with original music and characters in the grand tradition of classic 1950’s science fiction films like Forbidden Planet.

There will be an eclectic mix of music, comedy, silliness for the kids and just enough bawdy humour for the adults.

Where and when
Shows will be performed at The Depozitory, Ryde on Saturday 16th December (6:30pm) and two shows on Sunday 17th December (2:00pm and 6:30pm).

Tickets are priced at £3.50 each. Recommended (with parental discretion) for ages 12 and up.

Book your tickets via the Tide Nor Time website.

Wilson: “Probably the most bonkers musical of the festive season”
Candy Cassidy who played Jane Calloway in the Molly Downer musical will be starring as Lance McKrack opposite Carys Broome as the evil Professor Brainovski in this stellar, Christmas adventure.

“We pride ourselves on creating original content and we decided that if you can’t be completely over the top at Christmas, when can you be? Being a huge fan of classic sci-fi films and having a deep love of pantomimes, I decided to merge the two in this outrageous Christmas spectacular.”
