'It's a Matter of Time!' Lower KS2 primary school play script

A full and original primary show play script, which can be used in a variety of teaching and performance areas.

Professor McFly is one of the most brilliant scientists of our time, who has finally created his greatest invention...a time machine! Together with his faithful assistant Judy, his not-so-useful friend Bones and his fiercest rival as an unwanted stowaway, the Professor embarks on a breathless journey through history, where he meets his three heroes of science. His adventures are constantly hampered by the evil machinations of Dr. Crow, as well as by the relentless detective work of the dreaded Time Police, leaving the Professor in a race against time to return home. Science fiction meets science fact, with a smattering of history...who could ask for more?

This is a fun and educational story, which is enjoyable for children to read and perform, as well as being straightforward for teachers to organise and direct. In addition, the show incorporates a number of cross-curricular science themes and links directly to the following topics:
• The IPC Milepost 2 units 'Time and Place, Earth and Space'; 'Explorers and Adventurers'; 'They made a difference' and 'Inventions that changed the world'
