About
"Somewhere, outside the logic of time itself, Tina and Zack find each other. And they pedal together on an impossible journey. Sliding through time in search of something very precious."
Zack’s Gran, Tina, isn't very well. She’s always sleeping, and can’t take him out on his bike anymore. Zack’s mum wants him to come inside and see Gran, to spend some time with her while she rests.
But Zack is on a very important mission: he needs to locate Gran’s missing golden medal before it’s too late. There’s just one small problem — Tina is a time traveller, and the medal could be hidden in any time or place in the whole history of the world. Luckily, she has a time travelling bike, and together they pedal back thousands of years of history in search of what is lost.
Through epic battles with dinosaurs, a high-stakes jig with Henry VIII, and the uncovering of a spooky Ancient Egyptian tomb, Zack and Tina take on the quest of a lifetime — and what they discover changes Zack’s understanding of life forever.
Time Sliders is a riotous, playful, and poignant adventure for 7-11 year olds about family, loss, ageing, and the power of the imagination. The show was created by award-winning devised theatre company Breach, in collaboration with children across Camden.
