Description

"The most important playwright to have emerged north of the border in years." (Scotsman)



Two Soviet cosmonauts, losing contact with the world they left behind; a Scottish civil servant in the throes of a midlife crisis; a Norwegian peace negotiator; a Russian erotic dancer; a French UFO researcher and an Edinburgh speech therapist in search of her missing husband are brought together through an extraordinary thread of connections, which bring us into contact with both the intimate and the epic.

Space odyssey meets unrequited love story as The Cosmonaut's last message... explores the incessant search for harmony and peace within all of us.
