Six inhabitants of the planet Midronedia - a planet not too dissimilar from our own; full of polution, toxic waste. wars, destruction, political upheaval, corrupt governments, pandemics, and all other things which threaten the continued survival of mankind - find themselves embroiled in a story of adventure, friendship, betrayal, and sacrifice, as a scientist and a rocket ship pilot plot to leave their planet forever with their humanoid robot, in search of a better life on planet Earth!
This is the plot of a story told in the form of a play with songs, from the Rocket Whip Productions team; although nowehere can I find the name of the writer. The music is by Patch Middleton. Rocket Whip productions is an LGBTQ company formed in 2020 in Manchester, and aims to give a chance to performers who, for whatever reason, have been and continue to be marginalised within the theatrical community; aiding amateurs and disadvantaged performers especially.
The premise of this show certainly has potential, it could have been prescient, sharp, keenly and wittily observed. The six cast tried hard and did their best. The show has its final performance this evening at Salford Arts Theatre.
