Immersive 'War of the Worlds'

War of the Worlds is a multi-million pound immersive show merging theatre, film, virtual reality, motion simulators and projection-mapping across a 2-hour runtime. The show is adapted from the HG Wells novel and Jeff Wayne’s musical album, and currently running in London.

Jack conceived the vision for the show as a seamless transmedia storytelling experience, working with production company Layered Reality and the IP holders, and then led the creative team through a 12-month production process. The show received a prestigious THEA award for Outstanding Achievement (joining award-winners such as Disney and Universal Studios). The show had over 150,000 attendees and is rated 5/5 on Trip Advisor with a Traveller’s Choice Award for 2021 and 2022 and a Gold London x Design Award.
