Set in a space station on Mars, this play is a mystery. Why has communication been lost with Earth? Why is there an air leak? What is killing the crew?
A performance (or reading), lasting approximately twenty-five minutes, answers all these, and other, questions. It is fast-paced with a high body count.
There are two main parts with eleven other roles. All parts can be played by male or female actors and things like character names can be changed easily because the file is a Microsoft Word file.
I have used a mixture of mainly Key Stage 3 students when performing it -- a significant challenge for them and so year 10 students could benefit from trying it in Drama lessons. Alternatively, it is very suitable to be read by year eight (or better year seven) students in English classes. (Because it is a Word file you could enlarge the font and project it for the class to read without even the cost of photocopying -- I suggest changing the page orientation to landscape.)
Minimal props and minimal set only are needed to perform this script successfully.
