Revenge of the Space Pandas tells the story of Binky Rudich, Vivian Mooster and Bob the Sheep who want to play with time travel.
“Binky Rudich, his friend Viv, and his almost human sheep Bob tinker with a two-speed clock with the idea that, as Binky says, “Time on Earth moves at the same speed all the time, but there is another speed, a slower speed, and if we could find it, everything would stand still on Earth and we would spin off,” a synopsis by Dramatic Publishing says. “And they do! To Crestview, Fourth World in the Goolagong System, ruled by George Topax and guarded by the Great Space Pandas. The excitement really begins when the Supreme Ruler commands that Bob be brought to him, never again to leave Goolagong, and he steals the two-speed clock just to make sure. Only a very serious playwright could produce such an insane comedy!”
The show was written by David Mamet and the music was done by Alaric Jans
