The recovery season at Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds kicks off with a sprightly bit of reimagined Victoriana, a family show (ideal for half term, parents: there are actual facts in it about time zones).
‘Another superb bit of escapism’: THE TEMPORAL SOCIETY – CtrlAltRepeat (Online review) ★★★★
The Temporal Society is another superb bit of escapism from the minds of CtrlAltRepeat, taking you back in time and keeping you on your toes – Rebekah Finch and Rachel Waring are the double act we’ve all been waiting for.
