“...an original, suspenseful and genuinely moving script showcasing the talents of two amazing actors.
I didn’t move for 90 mins.”
ALONE is a multi award-winning Kiwi play about space exploration, feminism, climate change, and David Bowie.
It's an exciting and innovative sci-fi thriller with sustainability at its core. Created by a passionate group of Auckland based actors and artists, ALONE is an intense and thrilling ride to the edges of space and human nature.
Aboard a crowd-funded spacecraft called ‘The Lily of the Nile’, a two-woman crew are on the home stretch of a
two-year mission that could provide a solution for an Earth ravaged by climate change.
Pragmatic and passionate Doctor Sarah Taylor (Kat Glass) believes her work with alien micro-bacterium could make Earth habitable once more. Jessica Holland (Courtney Bassett) – a charismatic and quick-witted young pilot - is charged with getting Doctor Taylor’s work and samples home.
“An incredible achievement. I loved every moment of it.”
“Had us on the edge of the seat."
“If you have other plans tonight ditch them to go see this piece of art instead. ALONE is such a fantastic, beautiful, authentic and dark show. I mean it. Don’t miss out."
