Back to Terra Firma

2080. The UK is divided into two powerful cities and sprawling cooperative farmlands. When city woman Ollie visits the Farmland to sell medicine to official, James, an unusual love story begins, complicated by the radicalised boy, who fell on Terra Firmer from the sky and has been taken in for rehabilitation.

Set in a future but familiar version of England, Back to Terra Firma is a darkly funny love story about how people save others and themselves, set against a backdrop of rural health/climate poverty and urban pressure. It hasn’t rained in season for three years…

With more working people rethinking their priorities, and almost half of 18 – 34 yr-olds in London planning to leave the city within ten years, this show also throws light on lifestyle choices we are making now for an uncertain future.
