Perfectly Normal Theatre presents Elon Musk: Lost in Space, a darkly comic sci-fi satire starring Ben Whitehead—the voice of Wallace from Wallace & Gromit—as the world’s richest man spiralling into madness aboard his own spacecraft. Running from 11–23 August at theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall, this sharp and surreal solo show explores ego, power, and the dangers of unchecked ambition.
Written by David Morley and directed by John Nicholson, the play follows Musk as he journeys to Mars with only his AI companion, M-UTHA, for company. But when a call from President Trump derails the mission, Musk’s grip on reality begins to slip. Haunted by visions of Sir Patrick Moore and tormented by a persistent fly, he faces a showdown with his own creation in a battle for control.
With satire, sci-fi, and a touch of the absurd, Elon Musk: Lost in Space is a timely and hilarious exploration of tech, wealth, and the men who think they run the world.
