Description

Photon StarBlaster is a renegade galactic agent on a mission. But when his spaceship malfunctions and sets course to self-destruct, he is thrown into his most dangerous journey yet. Will he be able to make it home? Based on the playwright's own childhood experiences, this fast-paced new play explores the generational fallout of suicide, and how we reach for the stars when the ground beneath us gets too much. A C ARTS Spark Fund winner.

Really touching play, looking at a delicate topic in a beautifully accessible and vulnerable (yet fun) fashion. The acting/direction is first class and on stage chemistry sublime.

Everything to love here about DIY creativity - showcasing just how professional such a production can be. Minimalist set/props/lighting used to excellent effect.

Impressive stuff.

Incredibly well written and directed, this show hits home with both humor and humanity. One of the most heartfelt and imaginative shows I've seen at the Fringe.

Loved this show. Beautifully bittersweet and uplifting story about grief and resilience told through the medium of sci-fi fantasy. Really feels from the heart.
