About the Show

Things happen to Johnny Maxwell. They're not supposed to, but they do. Being a teenager is no fun, especially in 'Trying Times'. Obliterating aliens is good escapism, but is this fast paced adventure a game, a dream or reality?

Based on the Terry Pratchett bestseller, ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND the Musical has music by Leighton James House and Lyrics by Shaun McKenna.
