Another Place [EPUB ebook] 

It’s forty million miles. Two and a half years, yeah? It takes a radiowave – right? Travelling at the speed of fucking light, 13 minutes, to get back from Mars. So . . . if anything goes wrong – anything at all – out there . . . they’re really . . . they’re on their own, you know?When Earth is the loneliest planet, where else is there to go?Paul is a specialist in cognitive behaviour, tasked with designing a twenty-year mission to Mars. Daniel is a husband and new father struggling with the reality of marriage and the monotony of everyday life. Nat is a twin sister, disillusioned by the world’s obsession with space travel and sorry that she didn’t say goodbye. And Amy asks a lot of questions . . . Following his critically acclaimed The Empire at the Royal Court, and The Swan at the National Theatre, DC Moore’s Another Place is a compelling play about our obsession to uncover the secrets of space, and the tragedy of what we leave behind. Full of dark humour, razor-sharp wit and intricately portrayed characters, this is a gripping play about what it means to be human.Another Place received its world premiere at the Theatre Royal Plymouth on 6 November 2014.
