‘Strange Orbits’ is a sci-fi romance drama about love, hope, and the fate of humanity. Engineer Lily and her tech billionaire husband Jasper have spent more than a decade building their life together. But on the night of their tenth wedding anniversary, a secret long hidden shakes the foundation of their relationship. Now they must attempt to find common ground through urgent discussion about the climate crisis, misogyny, and the impact of colonisation.
Written by former SpaceX engineer Carly Hendricks and inspired by classical theatre, ‘Strange Orbits’ is for anyone who’s looked up at the stars and wondered about our place in the universe.

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.
