She explains the reality of time travel, taking in David Bowie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, sci-fi, CERN and particle physics, self-discovery, motherhood, Dr Who, #MeToo and '80s time travel films along the way.
The show visit’s The Edge Theatre & Arts Centre in Chorlton, Manchester November 22 as part of a national tour—the only North West date for the Stalybridge-born writer and performer.
