Meteor Incoming!

Right Track Theatre Company bring their new farce Meteor Incoming! to the Old Parcels Office Artspace on Wednesday 4 November. It's a one-night run, so if you're going to catch it, this is your only chance.

The plot kicks off at a small-town Comic Con, where a superfan named Matt is mistaken for the famous actor Dick Chase. He's thrust on stage for a live Q&A, and in the heat of the moment, he accidentally implicates his hero in a string of scandals. From there, it's a proper farce: Matt and his friend Larna spend the rest of the show trying to salvage Dick's reputation while dodging TV executives, reporters and an overzealous policeman. It's exactly the kind of thing that works best on a small stage, where the chaos can build up around the characters until it's almost too much to keep track of.

Right Track aren't strangers to the venue, either. They previously staged Off and On, another farce set around a railway, at the Old Parcels Office, so they know how to work the space. If you're planning to go, there are a couple of content warnings to keep in mind: infrequent strong language, sexual references and drug use. It's not a family afternoon out, so keep that in mind if you're bringing a group.

Doors open at 7.00pm and the show starts at 7.30pm, so you've got plenty of time to get settled before it kicks off. Tickets are £14, and the venue is the Old Parcels Office Artspace, tucked into the Scarborough Railway Station car park. If you've got a soft spot for farce and don't mind a bit of mayhem, this is a good one for a Wednesday night.
