WRITTEN BY ALISON SCURFIELD
DIRECTED BY GRAEME THOMPSON
STARRING AIDEN NORD AND TYLER DOBBS

You and me, we’re nothing like each other. Trust me. 
Sometimes I think we might be, a bit. Quite a bit, actually. 

Johnny isn’t one of the cool kids. He likes physics, space and Professor Brian ‘saucepot’ Cox. He is also struggling to move on from a family tragedy. But when new boy, Hassan joins the school forces of nature seem to pull them together. Can this unlikely friendship save them, and help them both aim for the stars? 

Alison Scurfield’s debut play is a witty and tender tale about grief, growing up gay and the universe.  

Reviews
