A Story About Time Travel is just that. It’s about Jess and Finn – they’re here with us in the theatre, telling us their story from the stage. They haven’t told anyone about it before, but they really, really need to.

It starts 5 weeks after they met, on a train platform. Finn is about to move home – out of London (he can’t afford it anymore). Jess can’t leave – her Mum’s got dementia, and her Dad needs Jess’ help. The problem is that Jess and Finn have kinda fallen in love (eek).

As Finn’s train pulls up to the platform, something unusual happens. Jess and Finn suddenly find themselves 5 weeks in the past, on their graduation day – in a karaoke bar. This is the night they met. They don’t realise at first, but they’ve just travelled through time…
