NIGHTFALL
An original sci-fi play paying homage to the literary creations of Isaac Asimov, the play tracks the last days on a planet called Lagaash that has seven suns that never set at the same time. However, a once-in-10,000-years phenomenon is about to occur: all the suns will set simultaneously and Lagaash will know night. Fear, denial, resistance and ultimately hope colour the moment as the inhabitants grapple with the approach of nightfall.
