What is the story of The War Of The Worlds?
Travel through Victorian England as you witness the invasion of the Martians and fight for survival in this all-sensory experience, accompanied by Wayne's captivating prog-rock score.
At the end of the 19th century, scientists observe an eruption of green gasses coming from Mars, flaring out across space for ten days until finally a 'falling star' is seen crashing to Earth. However, this is no plain old meteor but an extraterrestrial pod, containing something 'intense, inhuman, crippled and monstrous' and altogether not very friendly.
And so begins the first Martian invasion of Earth, which from its epicentre of Surrey, spreads these strange creatures all over the country, obliterating everything in their path. The narrator takes us on his journey with him as he traverses an abandoned London in search of his girlfriend and meets fellow survivors, waiting and hoping for some solution to quell their new alien overlords...
