Distance Over Time Theatre presents: The Luminous Dead

When Gyre Price lied her way into this caving expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits, and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck – enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother – meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane. Instead, she got Em.

The Luminous Dead is adapted by Andrew Hungerford from the Bram Stoker Award nominated novel by Caitlin Starling.

It’s a piece of highly physical, science-fiction horror theatre that explores world building through projections, light and dark, audio immersion, and rough theatrical magic crafted by the ensemble.

Photography and video recording are prohibited during performances. (But feel free to take photos at pre-show, intermission, and post-show!)

Running Time: 2 hours including one 15 minute intermission
