Perfectly written and performed, Th e First Men In The Moon captures the spirit of adventure found in Wells’ book, if not its scope. ![]() Convincing the initially reluctant Bedford that the lunar surface is awash with gold, Cavor constructs a spectacularly quaint lunar module from iron, wood and velvet, and the two set off on their weird, improbable journey.

After an uneasy first meeting, Bedford, a man with a keen nose for a new business opportunity to exploit, becomes intrigued by Cavor’s latest invention, Cavorite, a paint-like substance that, once cooled, blocks out the effects of gravity. ![]() ![]() ![]() But be sure that the intermediates are many and varied, for in history one authority exists to counteract another.
