A PLAY ABOUT LOVE AND SURVIVAL

When a predator threatens to destroy all you have ever loved, how far will you go to protect it? The Man must battle demons, aliens and his own memories to change everything.

The Man packs items into a rucksack and leaves the house, not for the first time, for a bus stop 100 yards away. The Boy finds himself wondering at a starling murmuration unable to recall how he got there. He is confronted by The Man, who seems determined to lead him away. There is an overarching sense of confusion and danger as the two are continually pursued by an unseen ‘alien’ predator. How do you battle something you don’t understand and don’t see coming?

At its heart this is a love story... and what happens when something or someone threatens to take it away. As the play progresses you begin to understand what or who the predator is and how lives, memories and futures are threatened and twisted. In the end we are left living the dream, just not one of our making.
