Time Fracture (stage play)

Doctor Who: Time Fracture was a stage show produced by Immersive Theatre and licensed by BBC Studios, with James Goss acting as lore consultant and script editor. The staged production - billed as an "immersive experience" - was written by Daniel Dingsdale.

It featured video and audio clips, special effects, screen-used props and creatures, and music cues from the series. After being delayed from its initial opening date in 2020 due to COVID-19, it finally opened on 26 May 2021 at Davies Mews in London. The show had a length of two hours and fifteen minutes.

All of the main TV Doctors were featured in some capacity, represented in a variety of ways.

Synopsis
1940 – at the height of the Blitz. A weapon of unknown origin destroys a small corner of Mayfair, and simultaneously opens a rift in space and time. For decades, UNIT have fought undetected to protect the people of Earth from the dangers it poses. Weakened and beaten back as the fracture’s multiplied out of control, they’re close to defeat.
