Testimonials
Jupiter’s Ghost is a shining example of the kind of bold, speculative theatre we need more of. - Everything Theatre
[Jupiter’s Ghost] leaves the audience with quite a bit to think about, and a few knowing references to classic [science fiction] works along the way. It goes to show that you don’t need an elaborate budget to create [science fiction] like this, just light, sound, the physical presence of the cast and the imagination of the audience. - Gary Couzins, Interzone Digital
It is a real treat getting the opportunity to see a new science fiction play, and Tani Gill’s Jupiter’s Ghost is a solidly entertaining piece exploring The Last Spark of Humanity – familiar themes of consciousness, humanity and morality. - Claire Rodrick, Fairy Powered Productions
