Have You Been Here before? - The Time Traveller Audiences prepare to be truly amazed by Tony Rae (The Time Traveller) in an Evening unlike anything you have ever seen, the show will totally mesmerise and captivate those who are curious about having lived before and how our experience from past lives contributes to and effects our choices and decisions in this life.
“The love that you withhold is the pain that you carry lifetime after lifetime”. The world master of regression will give a brief introduction of discovering previous lives, some dating back to 3000BC.
Audience members will then be selected to time travel on a journey to their past lives, will anyone speak in a foreign language they know nothing about, or write in the styles of days gone by? The fascinating experience is then directly relayed by audio and video to present one of the most astonishing events in theatre history and a night you will never forget.
Tickets from £23.50. Phone: Middleton Arena 0300 303 8633, 7.30pm Middleton Arena, Lcpl Joel Halliwell VC Way, Middleton, M24 1AG
