Description

A new play from Alistair McDowall explores the darker side of human psychology. Set in a remote research base on Pluto, the story follows a skeleton crew as they wait for help that never comes. As time takes its toll, the boundaries between reality and madness begin to blur. McDowall's writing is both humorous and unsettling, creating a sense of unease that lingers long after the final page has been turned. This new Modern Classics edition features an introduction by Dr Cristina Delgado-García, offering insight into the play's themes and context. X premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 2016 and continues to be a thought-provoking work of sci-fi theatre that will keep you on edge.
