AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Sydney 2061: Ewan has just busted out of prison. Branded a war criminal he's out to clear his name.

'Stepping into a post-greenhouse world of biotech monstrosities, technologically super-charged idealism and corporate-government hybrids, Ewan vows to stop a cargo-load of humans apparently destined for off-planet mining.

'With most of the planet either dug-up or burnt-up is Ewan saving humanity or hastening its damnation?

'Ewan may have picked the wrong day to break out of prison.

'From the creative team that brought Quack to the Griffin Theatre Company last year, Rare Earth, prequel to the Patrick White Playwrights Award winning Forever Seven, is Blade Runner meets The Fly meets An Inconvenient Truth - an ecological sci-fi horror romantic thriller comedy for our times.'
