Aboard a crowd-funded spacecraft called ‘The Lily of the Nile’, a two-woman crew are on the home stretch of a two-year mission that could provide a solution for an Earth ravaged by climate change.

Pragmatic and passionate Doctor Sarah Taylor believes her work with foreign micro-bacterium could make Earth habitable once more. Jessica Holland – a charismatic and quick-witted young pilot - is charged with getting Doctor Taylor’s work and samples home. But a collision with space debris leads to the terrifying discovery that something has gone wrong with the ship and they have been travelling off course for weeks...

The pair must negotiate a terse working relationship; a ship that’s falling apart at the seams; misogyny; questions of faith vs. science and David Bowie vs. The Smiths - and time is running out!

Performed amongst the incredible artifacts and stories from New Zealand’s aviation history at MOTAT’s Sir Keith Park Memorial Aviation Display, ALONE promises to be a unique glimpse into what could lie ahead…

Dusty Room Productions is proud to present ALONE – a heart-racing intergalactic exploration of what, or who, is really worth saving.
