Four scientists. One year. Sealed away from the world in The Biosphere – an airtight dome; a great glass ark humming with natural life, technology and ambition. Their mission: to prove life can survive beyond Earth. But as the atmosphere of their meticulously crafted world begins to change, passions fray and hunger bites, and the line between experiment and existence blur. What will they sacrifice to succeed? Inspired by the infamous 1991 experiment, Olivia Foan’s BIOSPHERE is a new play about our relationship to nature, technology and the planet we call home. BIOSPHERE is directed by Olivia Munk and produced by Part of the Main Productions.

Or have things already slightly burst regardless? And will there ultimately be a grand finale to this three-book series (aka a trilogy) or a more open-ended conclusion in order to leave potential room for further sequels? (That, btw, will ultimately be Garth’s decision.) From the fevered imagination of Horror Fiction’s Grand Frightener Garth Marenghi, author of Sunday Times-Bestselling Garth Marenghi’s Terror Tome and Garth Marenghi’s Incarcerat, come three freshly rancid tales of…This Bursted Earth… “So dense with brilliant jokes that it cannot safely be read while drinking hot liquid” – Inews.co.uk “puts the ‘boo’ into book tour” – The Guardian “had the crowd hooting and hanging, insatiably, on every line.” – The Telegraph Hardback copies of This Bursted Earth will be available for purchase...
