A thousand years in the future, Ren and her spaceship M.A.G.D.A. are sucked inside a black hole. Somewhere in the not-so-distant past, Skip is drifting through a darkness of their own. As their lives veer into the unknown, they must each ask themselves the question: When there’s no one to talk to, who you gonna call?
This is a story about two people, one fastidious spaceship and an epic rescue mission a thousand years in the making.
They’re all going to get out of this alive. But you’d better strap in - it’s going to be a wormhole of a ride.

Based on a (mostly) true story and written by award-winning storyteller Rowena Hutson, this rollicking space oddity is a loving and ludicrous lurch into one young person’s experience of anxiety and depression and out the other side.

★★★★ "It’s inspiring to watch her at work." – The Scotsman

★★★★ “One of the most moving and provocative pieces of The Fringe this year.” – The Clothesline

★★★★ “Only the most special of storytellers can make an audience laugh one minute and want to cry the next. Rowena Hutson is one of those storytellers.” – The Advertiser
