The Story Of Tomorrow
Over time, the West End has seen only a few sci-fi dramas that deal with serious issues and ideas. Walden is one such story that masterfully combines intriguing ideas with brilliant performances. Your Walden Tickets will take you to a futuristic dystopian timeframe when people have started settling in Mars and the Moon as the Earth’s environment has become poisonous. It is the story of two sisters Stella and Cassie. Stella, an elegant yet brittle woman, used to be a NASA astronaut. She left her upscale life to live with her boyfriend Bryan in a simplistic, self-sufficient cabin in a rural neighbourhood. Bryan is an ardent Earth advocate. The duo is a part of a mass movement that promotes simple, non-polluting, self-sufficient livelihoods instead of abandoning the planet in search of alternatives. Their otherwise perfect life gets rattled as Stella’s twin sister Cassie is about to return after her year-long stint in outer space in search of further possibilities for humankind. The reunion quickly becomes more about rivalry than revelry. As the two differ on ideologies and intentions, anticipation mounts dramatically. Within a short span into the story, it is evident that Berryman has placed these two characters as warring opposites, presenting quintessential dualities about the age-old conflict between scientific progress and personal, humane qualities.
The Young Brigade
Like its idea, the show is also brought to life by a bunch of young, energetic, and talented cast and crew. Amy Berryman, the talented American writer has made her U.K. debut with this ambitious project. Gemma Arterton, who has previously delivered a brilliant performance in the popular James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, delivers an incredible piece yet again. She is accompanied by two other remarkable actors, Fehinti Balogun (Naked, Juliet) and Lydia Wilson (The Duchess of Malfi) in realizing what Berryman envisaged. Order your Walden Tickets today to witness the intense drama unfurl on the stage.
