ADAPTED FROM H.G. WELLS
DIRECTED BY LEO LION
MOVEMENT DIRECTED BY IZZY PFLANZ

“Across the gulf of space, vast and cool and unsympathetic intellects regard our earth with envious eyes.”

Earth is under attack! Unfathomable as it may seem, humanity’s comfortable reign over the world has come to a screeching halt with the arrival of a shuttle from Mars. The first modern alien invasion story, H.G. Wells’s classic ‘mockumentary’ tale reveals how everyone – scientists, soldiers, preachers, politicians – deal with a crisis that defies human comprehension. Firebird Youth Theater’s signature devised & ensemble-driven style puts teen actors at the helm of this story about human survival and resilience in the face of disaster. Can the next generation learn from our mistakes, and build an Earth where we can be human to one another?
