Walden

The Theatre Centre plays host to **Walden**, a striking and poetic new play that interrogates the heavy choices facing humanity at the edge of ecological collapse. Written with a sharp eye for speculative drama, the story unfolds on an isolated environmental reserve.

The Plot In the near future, Cassie returns from a year-long solo moon mission only to find her sister Stella waiting for her alongside Stella's new fiancé. As Earth's environment crumbles and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, the sisters are forced to choose between remaining tethered to a dying planet or pursuing an uncertain future out in the cosmos. It is a deeply human exploration of duty, desire, and whether we can truly outrun our history.
