Machination Theatre Ensemble

Fallen Sky captures the environmental awakening of the Thompson family and shows just how much it will take before some people realise that once something beautiful is gone it is lost forever.

At the heart of its story are the pertinent issues of family and the environment - both of which are increasinly under threat from a socety obsessed with the individual and consumption.

In this play as in realty it is today's youth who must bear the cost of environmental mistakes made by generations past and present. But the decision to make young people the visonaries of "Fallen Sky" imbues this story with a sense of hope despite its dark and gritty subject matter.
