Author: Kathryn Marquet

Written by award-winning playwright Kathryn Marquet, Second Coming is a comedy of galactic proportions. It’s a love letter to Earth that explores the rise of corporate power, oligarchy, and the urgent need for new ethics in a world driven by boundless capitalism.

With dark humour and heart, it asks: if we can’t learn from our mistakes on Earth, what hope do we have on Mars?

SYNOPSIS
It’s 2065. Earth is burning. Time is running out. Geneticist Evie and the crew of the ARK MARK II spaceship are humanity’s last hope, charged with rescuing every species they can, two by two, for a new beginning on Mars. Lesser prairie chickens, Javan warty pigs, and creatures of all kinds are soon set to roam in purpose-built biomes on ‘The Second Eden’. Behind the mission is GENESIS, a corporate superpower that has commissioned the project, selling salvation through a slick marketing campaign. The mission is disrupted when Evie discovers she’s pregnant. As personal crises collide with cosmic responsibility, Evie uncovers a shocking truth about the mission that forces the crew to question everything they thought they knew. Where do they go from here?
