Daniel Mesta's haunting play returns for an encore weekend at Theater 154!
One day, humanity will say its final words. What would you say?
A Russian-style drama in (mostly) English set in the biting isolation of the High Arctic, Mars follows the final days of the last two humans on Earth. Trapped within a failing research station after an apocalyptic event, a Russian-American glaciologist and a Mexican-American climatologist must navigate the wreckage of their competing histories as they face an inevitable end. While they reflect on people, progress and Pushkin, a series of unexpected confessions and confrontations threatens a chaotic end to the human story.
Presented against the background of Gustav Holst's iconic suite The Planets, the play tells a story of home, humanity and hope during a time when it all seems so far away. Political, personal and powerful, don't miss the chance to see what audiences call "a witty and serious blend of philosophy, humor and storytelling."
The play runs approximately 75 minutes without intermission and features dialogue in English with limited Russian (with titles). The extension is presented with PM Theater.
