New Writing, Dark Comedy
Do Astronauts Masturbate in Space?
In an overpopulated Britain, a law called the Parental Act requires everyone to obtain a license to have children. This electric dark comedy follows charming young couple Lily and Gareth, who after falling pregnant, must attend a week long “retreat" where their baby’s fate is decided by the State. Failing the retreat means a forced abortion, but they’re confident it’ll be a breeze. Once inside, however, cracks begin to show. Secrets surface and amid intense scrutiny, their love is pushed to the limit as they fight for their license and their future.
