Any 80s child who grew up with Back to the Future and Quantum Leap probably shares my fantasies about time travel. So you’ll be excited to hear that the time warp continuum will be well and truly warped this weekend – in Shoreditch, conveniently. Instead of a wild-eyed Doc driving a DeLorean, intrepid history explorers will be conducted into the medieval past by a legendary Victorian Time Traveller Wilfred Bagshawe. What this involves is shrouded in mystery, but a clue in the teaser video suggests: destination May 1381. Google reveals this is when a bloody peasants’ revolt kicked off over unfair taxes. So some kind of immersive theatrical experience with pitchforks maybe? And if that wasn’t intriguing enough, from 11pm you can dance your way back to the present at the after-party, with a fine array of Standon Calling DJs hosting Friday’s revels and Winterwell on Saturday. / Melanie Kramers
