Dark Matter

One vote will change everybody’s life. 

This play is unlike any other. It has heart, drama, and did I mention it's set in space?

A crew of six journey millions of miles away to the planet of Obiteria, in search of the unknown. However, at the halfway point on their mission, they stumble upon something that could change their lives forever. The disjointed group has to face the biggest decision of their life. Should they keep what they found a secret, or let everyone home on Earth know the truth? Terminal illness, and religion are the driving factors for opposing views, but what secrets will be revealed about the rest of the unlikely astronauts. With only a day before they descend home, a choice has to be made. And it has to be now! 

After a successful Playreading in 2024, ‘Dark Matter’ now is ready for the stage. These are some of the quotes from our audience:

“Left the table read buzzing. Would definitely line up to see this as a show” - Nathanael Mitchell

“Dark Matter is a refreshing piece that demonstrates the exciting potential of a criminally under-utilised genre in theatre. I want more of this.” - Brock Oliver

“Dark Matter was a brilliant and tense script that had me on the edge of my seat. It had me eager to learn each new piece of information on the characters.” -Sam Lewis

‘Dark Matter’ is a newly written play by emerging playwright, Chris Robertson. A story we don’t often get to see in a theatre, but one that we should.
