The Urmetazoan

Two sisters face a final farewell as one prepares for a one-way journey into space, in Alex Rugman’s play directed by Anna Ledwich.

Alex Rugman’s play explores the bond between Alice, a medical scientist preparing to leave Earth, and her sister Abigail. Anna Ledwich directs Ben Allen as Will, Dorothea Myer-Bennett as Alice and Meghan Treadway as Abigail. The theatre advertises the production from 18 September to 24 October 2026; its current table publishes 22 remaining performances from 7 October. Earlier performances are not reconstructed. The stated running time is 100 minutes without an interval. Captioned performances are published on 21 and 22 October, but the performance table and separate access panel disagree by one hour: 19:45 versus20:45 on21 October, and14:45 versus15:45 on22 October. These two performances retain date-only precision with unknown actual clock and finish; their day bounds are indexing boundaries, not all-day attendance. Other published starts and derived100-minute finishes remain timed. Suggested age14+; themes include death and grief, strong language and drug use.
