Jim Walters, a totally unprepared and hapless astronaut is shot into space to become the first man on Mars. On the day of the launch, armageddon hits and Jim’s rocket gets trapped in orbit around the dying earth. With an ever decreasing amount of Oxygen, all he can do is broadcast his songs for the end of the world in the hope that someone might hear…
Join musician and theatre maker Dom Coyote and his high octane, multi-instrumentalist band, The Bloodmoneys as they explore the line between music gig and theatre.
Inspired by Philip K Dick’s post-apocalyptic novel Dr. Bloodmoney, the star gazing world of Ziggy Stardust, 1950s rock n’ roll and the age of austerity Britain, this is a show not to be missed..
