Já International Theatre kicks off its autumn season with the double bill ‘VORTEX’, featuring the plays ‘Death and the Maiden’ and ‘Nightfall’.

‘NIGHTFALL’ is an original sci-fi play paying homage to the literary creations of Isaac Asimov. The play tracks the last days on a planet Lagaash with 7 suns that usually don't all set at the same time, but in the next 7 days, they will and for the first time in 10000 years, Lagaash will know night. Fear, Denial, Resistance and ultimately hope colour the moment as life cradled in the gentle bosom of light grapples with the shadows that have waited so long for nightfall.
