Immersive Doctor Who show to open in London next year / The Guardian

"Doctor Who: Time Fracture will open in February at Immersive | LDN, a former military drill hall in Mayfair, central London. The show is set, initially, in the immediate local area during the blitz. When a weapon of unknown origin destroys a small corner of Mayfair, a rift in space and time is opened up. The ensuing adventure takes place across “amazingly realised worlds” and promises Daleks, Cybermen and a character from Time Lord Victorious, BBC Studios’ multi-platform Doctor Who story. All it asks of the audience, according to the show’s publicity material, is “to step up and be the hero” – and to save an imperilled planet from menacing monsters."

I notice the poster features Tom and not the current incumbent.

They must want people to go see it.
