The worlds and locations of Doctor Who: Time Fracture

Posted Filed under

Participants in the immersive theatre experience Doctor Who: Time Fracture, which opens in London this month, can expect to visit 17 different worlds and see many locations on video as part of their adventure.

There will be many surprises but these are the known places participants can expect to visit, in person or by video.

London

A weapon of unknown origin destroys a small corner of Mayfair, and simultaneously opens a rift in space and time.

Participants can expect to watch Cybermen and Daleks invading London.

UNIT Headquarters

Kate Lethbridge-Stuart’s office and the UNIT Black Site feature in videos throughout the experience.

PSG: Portal-Stabilisation Gateway

UNIT scientist Dr. Errol Courtney has drawn up plans for a gateway which will enable a human to safely travel into the Time Fracture anomaly and investigate.

Leonardo Da Vinci’s study

A version of da Vinci’s study, as seen in in the Doctor Who Season 17 episode City Of Death, features in the show, as does da Vinci’s famous portrait of Mona Lisa, which will contain an added secret illusion.

Queen Elizabeth’s court

Tapestries full of Doctor Who Easter eggs hall on the wall of the queen’s throne room. An illusion was created for her golden throne. A stream runs out from the queen’s throne into the centre of the room. This effect is achieved by diverting one of the many canals that run under Oxford street where the venue is located.
