    "Wildfires, hurricanes, predicted storms. My body feels the same as Earth today."

    Just off the pale blue dot - if you squint really hard - there's Miriam. Floating through space.

    They're not sure why, but NASA chose them to live here, and they accepted.
    And as the temperatures rise on earth, Miriam is given a choice. Either remain on this mission alone, or transfer to a shiny private corporation to establish a new society.

    A story by Roni Neale about living with disabilities, and living among humans.

    Produced with the support of Camden People's Theatre, Paines Plough and Theatre Royal Plymouth developed through Paines Plough's Tour the Writer programme in partnership with Theatre Royal Plymouth. 

     

    Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
