Doctor Who: Time Fracture Increasing Audience Capacity by End of Month

Last week, we learned that flooding in the theater housing Immersive Everywhere and the BBC's Doctor Who: Time Fracture was forcing performances up to and through Sunday, July 25, to be postponed. Now, attendees checking out performances beginning July 28 are being made aware of changes in show policy in accordance with the UK's current COVID-19 guidelines. Surprisingly happening at a time when COVID cases are spiking all over the map in large part due to the Delta variant, the show will be increasing its attendance capacity from 90 people (45% of full capacity) to 100 people (50% of full capacity). In addition, attendees "will be asked to wear face coverings around the venue at all times when not drinking" (asked and not required?), and they'll be hand sanitizing stations and continued vigilant cleaning.

Now here your look at the official trailer for Doctor Who: Time Fracture (with more information including how to book tickets here):

1940 – it's the height of the Blitz. A weapon of unknown origin destroys a small corner of Mayfair, and simultaneously opens up a rift in space and time. For decades, UNIT has fought to protect the people of Earth from the dangers it poses, but they've been beaten back as the fracture multiplies out of control. Earth as we know it is at stake – now is the time for you to step up and be the hero. Travelling to impossible places, confronting menacing monsters and ancient aliens along the way, it's a journey across space and time to save our race, and our beautiful planet.

Based on the long-running BBC sci-fi series and stemming from Immersive Everywhere, Doctor Who: Time Fracture spans seventeen worlds with a company of 80-plus, utilizing original costumes and props used in a number of Doctor Who episodes- including Daleks, Cybermen, Time Lords, and more. Doctor Who: Time Fracture is written by Daniel Dingsdale with design by Rebecca Brower, with James Goss as show lore consultant and script editor. David Bradley, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Jo Martin, and current Doctor Jodie Whittaker, and Alex Kingston were enlisted for pre-recorded cameos- with voice actors taking on the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Doctors; and Michael Troughton providing the voice-over for Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor). In addition, Jemma Redgrave (Kate Lethbridge-Stewart) and Jon Culshaw (the Brigadier) have joined the production with pre-recorded segments, while the 21st-century voice of the Daleks and Cybermen will be delivered by Nicholas Briggs. Additional voice talent provided by the team at Big Finish includes Jonathan Carley and Tim Treloar taking on fan favorites from all eras of the long-running show.

"The first day of rehearsals has finally arrived and we're so excited to bring the story of Doctor Who: Time Fracture to life over the coming weeks. The response to our application process has been overwhelming, as was the talent we met at our carefully managed audition process, said director Tom Maller. "We are delighted with our cast who are all ready for an intensive rehearsal period before we finally welcome audiences into Unit HQ from the first preview on 26 May."
