The Martian Parable: A Dark Comedy's Stark Warning Kathryn Marquet's play Second Coming is a scathing critique of humanity's prospects in the face of catastrophic collapse.
Set against the backdrop of La Boite in Brisbane, this dark comedy is not just a farcical tale of a Martian mission gone awry but also a sharp indictment of our era's priorities.
The play's premise is a chilling reflection of the world we live in: a corporate funded interplanetary mission to save humanity by delivering animals and marketing products on Mars.
