01 Oct - 06 Nov

It's 2035, and we're ready to send the first human beings to Mars. Gail and Stefan have been selected from thousands, and are ready to launch. Their four friends and colleagues are following close behind. We want you to come with them.

Fun, fast-paced and packed with emotion, Unlimited Theatre's new show is based on the real science of planned Mars missions. Join Gail and Stephan as they defy gravity and go further through the solar system than we've ever been before. Ever wondered if you have what it takes? Come and experience all the excitement, danger and discovery of the next giant leap into space...

FUTURE ME PROJECT

Be sure to take a look at our Future Me exhibition when you come and see Mission to Mars. As the production is set in 2035, Polka’s Education Department have asked three classes from three local primary schools to send messages to themselves in the future. Their messages will then be displayed in an interactive exhibition in our foyer, along with footage from their Mission to Mars workshops.
