Performance: Turn, Turn, Turn - a new play
Far in the future, another planet is dying. The next great migration is happening; thousands of people racing from one world to the next. On an old freighter, destined to become their future home, four individuals are thrown together. Struggling with nostalgia for Earth Seven, the crew must decide how much they will risk to get to the next world first. For two weeks at Theatre Works from Sept 13 to Sept 23. [more inside]
