"It's a tax write-off. This is where they send the new, the underqualified, the old. And most of all the British."
Why see X?
is it cold out in space?
Man has achieved interplanetary travel, what's more, they've colonised space. The Americans are creating a blonde master race on Mars and the UK, well, we're just trying to save the taxpayer a pound or two, even if our methods are somewhat dubious... The broadness of the solar system has opened up new frontiers of exploration, a brave new universe. But for the stranded skeleton crew on a lonely research base on Pluto, the wonders of the cosmos seem less and less attractive as they wait, a billion miles from home, for some semblance of help before the darkness obscures them entirely.
Directed by Vicky Featherstone, Alistar McDowall's brand new play promises something dramatic, exhilarating and absorbing for the audience as the stranded space travellers ponder the meaning of time in their aggrieved state of exile.
