I’ve heard of fan fiction, but fan theater? Hell Blossom, by Ian Wheeler, one in a trilogy of Doctor Who-inspired plays, will be on the boards at the Charles Cryer Studio Theatre in southwest London from Thursday, September 30, through Saturday, October 2:
The story begins when our time traveller and his companion, Shaatara, a Valkyrie warrior from the New Asgard colony, visit Professor Gardener, another time lord, now living in exile in Victorian London. The Professor is helping Chief Inspector Potts with his investigation into a series of grisly murders in the East End. A strange creature is responsible for the murders – and, when it kills, a mysterious man is seen near the scene of the crime, whose incredible get-aways have earned him the nick-name ‘Spring-heeled Jack’.
If you’re a fan of the 1970’s Dr Who TV series you won’t want to miss this homage to those classic episodes.
Sounds kinda cool. Tickets are £8 and can be purchased at the theatre’s Web site. I wish I were in London…
