Mars. A Cambridge that no longer exists on Earth. A cybernetic dictator called the Master, who saved these people from a dying planet and has spent every day since reminding them of it. Kolony: Cambridge is a sci-fi political tragedy in blank verse — Shakespeare meets Orwell, set on another planet.

The play tracks three attempts to bring the Master down. A lone revolutionary who thinks heroism is enough. A couple whose love becomes the regime's next experiment. And a woman nobody notices, who works out that tyranny only survives on the attention you give it. It's set in Cambridge because it's about Cambridge: the comforts that buy our silence, the excellence that becomes its own kind of cage, and the bargain every institution offers the people inside it.
