James May is set to bring his new live theatre show to Brighton this October. The television presenter, known for his roles on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, will take to the stage at the Brighton Centre on Saturday, October 4. His show, "Explorers - The Age of Discovery", will delve into the stories of explorers who have ventured into the unknown.
The show will use theatrical techniques and May's storytelling to create an evening of intellectual entertainment. The stories will span from Ice Age migrations to space travel, bringing to life the tales of both famous and lesser-known explorers. James May will recount the journeys of those who risked everything in their quest for discovery, including Leif Ericson, John Cabot, Tupaia, Stanley and Livingstone, Gertrude Bell, and the moonwalkers.
The show will also touch on the challenges of interplanetary and intergalactic travel. The live theatre show will tour the UK from September and throughout October. It is not connected to May's TV series, James May’s Great Explorers, which was broadcast on Channel 5.
Tickets for the show will go on general sale on Friday, May 2..
