As part of the Transported by Culture initiative, Transport Explorers: A Live Show will take audiences on a high-energy, hilarious adventure. Join two trainee engineers as they race against time to tackle transport challenges from London’s past, present, and future. Can you help them earn their Planner, Fixer, and Dreamer badges to become fully-fledged engineers?
Packed with comedy, science demos, and audience interaction, this 60-minute show promises to be an educational and entertaining journey through London’s transport history. From world-changing innovations in the 1800s to smart solutions for modern-day transport problems, and groundbreaking ideas that could shape our future, this show is not to be missed.
The cast includes Hattie Manton as Jesse, James Georgiou Zach as Kai, and Kirsty Jackson as the understudy. The creative team features writer Rachel Barnett-Jones, director Nicola Shepherd, and designer Damien Stanton, with stage management by James Theobold and production management by Dave Muir.
Elizabeth McKay, Director and CEO of London Transport Museum, said, “We’re so pleased to expand our offer for families with this exciting new children’s show, inspired by our collection. Our Museum tells the story of how London’s transport network has evolved in amazing ways since 1800 – through engineering innovation, ingenuity and creativity – to become a global icon. Dan Colman Creative’s fantastic new production will bring these stories to life for children in this fun and energetic STEM-based show that aims to ignite kids’ curiosity about the past, present, and future of London and the way transport keeps the city moving. What better place to showcase these stories on stage than at London Transport Museum in the heart of the Covent Garden Piazza.”
