  When the worlds of science-fiction and science-fact collide… extraordinary things can happen.
  Dave is the great-great grandson of H.G. Wells, author of the 1895 novella The Time Machine, a book that foretold (with suspicious accuracy) the future of the human species. What if the ideas in that book weren't entirely fiction? Right now, Dave and his friends Amy and Michael must set out on a journey through time… the journey of a lifetime!
  The Time Machine: A Comedy is (very loosely) adapted from H.G. Wells by Steven Canny and John Nicholson, whose previous adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles was a hit in the West End and subsequently for numerous companies worldwide. It was first produced in 2023 on a tour of the UK, before a run at Park Theatre, London, produced by Original Theatre and directed by Orla O'Loughlin.
  Fast-paced and wise-cracking, this riotous retelling zips from the nineteenth century to the end of the world, and (with any luck) back again. It will suit any theatre company looking for a time-bending adaptation of a well-loved story – and a surefire audience-pleaser.

  Chris here, the author & narrator. This version of my book is one I hold extremely close to my heart. In fact, it may be my favourite because I’ve always found comfort in sounds. In nature, in music, in silence. 
  This edition, which I call my Immersive Audio Edition, is produced exactly how my soul hears these poems come alive off the page. Narration, music, and sound design flow together to carry you through the seasons of the collection, giving each chapter and poem a sense of movement, connection, and space to breathe. 
  The poems explore dating, family, mental health, first loves, mistakes, self-discovery, and learning to love — others and yourself. This edition is the way I most authentically experience the work, and I’m sharing it with you exactly as I hear it. 
  For anyone who connects with spoken-word, reflective poetry, or immersive storytelling, this edition is the book as I meant it to be heard.
