Welcome to The Bunker. The apocalypse is coming, and it’s coming for you bitch!

In a secret bunker, a group of feminists are taking matters into their own hands as they contemplate impending doom and ask if it’s all too late to turns things around.

Meanwhile, a traveller lands in the year 802,701 to discover the fate of future humans and tries to unravel how it all came down to this.

Join this fiery and furious company of extremists for a tale of time travel, survival and human evolution in a bold and irreverent reimagining of H. G. Wells science fiction classic.

Brought to you by award-winning feminist theatre company Jordan & Skinner.

Captioned by Christabel Anderson on Thu 3 Nov.
BSL interpreted by Yvonne Waddell on Fri 4 Nov.

There is a pre-show discussion on Thu 3 Nov at 6pm in response to the show and what the future looks like for the intersectional feminist movement.

The performance on Fri 4 Nov will be followed by a post-show discussion with Jordan and Skinner's Co-Artistic Director Melanie Jordan, and members of the cast. This discussion will also be BSL interpreted.

The Time Machine: A Radical Feminist Retelling is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.

The Traverse Theatre is funded by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council, and has received additional support from the Scottish Government's Performing Arts Venues Relief Fund and Creative Scotland’s Recovery Fund for Cultural Organisations.
