Yeoman (Europa New Works Festival)

YEOMAN

By Miranda Martiniwith songs by Miranda Martini and Will Weisenfeld. Directed by Conrad Belau

Yeoman is a sci-fi musical in two acts. It tells the story of two young men, Tom and Bastian, who grow up together on a backwater planet on the brink of being swept up in an intergalactic war of expansion. One flees the planet as a refugee, eventually taking up the rebel cause and captaining his own ship; the other remains on-world, leading an unremarkable life as a civil servant while secretly forging papers and hiding enemies of the state. When fate finally brings them together again, they must decide: what price are they willing to pay for love? Lush synth pop buoys up the play’s themes of justice, internalised homophobia, colonialism, and what it means to follow your dreams in a world designed to crush them.

This performance is a play reading with actors as part of Jupiter Theatre's 2025 Europa New Works Festival at the Erratics Indie Arts Club (625 11 Ave SW #150, Calgary, AB).
