The War Of The Worlds

The TOI TOI Classics 2027 season brings Malta its inaugural staging of The War of the Worlds, drawing from both H.G. Wells' seminal science fiction novel and Orson Welles' iconic broadcast drama. This gripping extraterrestrial narrative undergoes a contemporary reimagining by theatre company Rhum+Clay alongside Olivier-nominated writer Isley Lynn, who reframes the work as commentary on today's misinformation landscape and contested truths. Critics have lauded the production as "deft and ingenious" (The Guardian), "a smart, engagingly layered show" (The Stage), and "remarkable" (The Observer).
