Jettison to Europa

Jettison to Europa is a technically ambitious story with a quiet soul. It follows a pioneering solo astronaut, Carey, on a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa. Mission control is led by Carey's best friend Jack and her journey is chronicled in the press by a fresh-out-of-school journalist, Pip. This story mines the complexities of long-term friendship and ambition alongside unresolved grief, growing pains, and institutional pressure.

At a time when we feel a daily thrum of existential uncertainty, a time defined by an epidemic of loneliness pitted against the myth of exceptionalism, this play shows us the harm in believing we must venture alone into the unknown.
