From star of The Mary Whitehouse Experience to cult status with comedy partner David Baddiel (the first comedians to play and sellout the 12,000 seat Wembley Arena), Rob Newman has established himself as one of the countries finest comics. Hurtling from 2006 to the Creation Myth of the Neanderthals (via Black Panthers, Shah of Iran, the Women's Movement, Elephant Man, Galileo and Columbus) there has never been a more epic show on the London stage than No Planet B - The History Of The World Backwards. No Planet B - The History Of The World Backwards is a meditation upon the massive social changes which are coming to us all as a result of Peak Oil and Cimate Chaos; and a critique of European power in the world. It's also about loneliness and loss: the story of doomed lovers John and Patches in the London Blitz is passed on from historical character to character, from Thomas Hardy, to Shakespeare to Jesus. Part play, part musical, part stand-up, this is a genre-busting dramatic piece.| 3 Jul 06 to 15 Jul 06 | The Kiln (formerly Tricycle Theatre) Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
