Play Details

Synopsis

A small research base on Pluto, resembling an airport waiting room

A small crew grapples with extreme isolation after losing contact with Earth. The play delves into the psychological effects of their confinement, as paranoia and anxiety escalate in the stark, functional setting. With a backdrop of space’s vast emptiness, the story unfolds into a haunting exploration of human resilience and vulnerability in the face of profound disconnection and the unknown.
