About
In a Thai beach resort, Charlie, Bo, Fran and Yael, are seemingly waiting out their final days before an asteroid collides with Earth.
A call to action in the face of climate change, SUNLAND explores themes of climate nihilism, consent around childbirth and wealth disparity.
SUNLAND transports the audience into a not-so-distant future that has them laughing, crying and empowered about their future.
