TEAM Educational Theatre Company presents Light Signals by Paul Meade
Light Signals is an imaginative play about friendship, destiny, revenge and the wonder of scientific discovery.
Light Signals tells the story of two children, John and Jennifer; best mates who are immersed in a world of science and discovery. In the secrecy of John's box-room, they are on the verge of constructing a machine that will alter the world as we know it -- a TIME MACHINE! This machine is capable of bending Space and Time, enabling people to travel backwards and forwards on a whim. However, such inventions have consequences and when a strange man comes to warn John that his actions could have terrible consequences for Jennifer in the future, John and Jennifer are propelled on a great adventure that stretches the possibilities of science to its limits and puts John's smelly old cat Frailley at the centre of epoch changing events.
