About this listen

The incredible eight-part full-cast audio drama written and created by Sebastian Baczkiewicz and directed by Jessica Dromgoole.

It’s just a message, right?

Daubed on walls, trending on socials, appearing in every language in every country all over the world and always reading the same. Nobody knows where it originated, only that it can’t be ignored. And then – in the blink of an eye – everything changes. Activated alien DNA, long buried within each and every one of us, transforms the majority of the human race. Cities are abandoned. Civilisation discarded. Suddenly, we’re not humans anymore, we’re… Lonely No More.

Or most of us are…

For those still unactivated and “lonely”, it’s now about learning to survive in the ruins of an unwanted and terrifying world.

See, the apocalypse isn’t coming, it’s already here.
