As climate catastrophe looms, the impatient Moon informs Earth that humans are doomed and announces its intent to leave, albeit slowly. Desperate, Earth implores Moon to help appeal to humanity, but their cosmic messages only cause humanity to devolve into bickering and denial. 

Exasperated, Earth and Moon put humanity on trial, instigating a courtroom drama where Earth questions representatives of different groups. 

Each gives their perspective, with Big Oil and Industry denying culpability, Consumer making excuses, and Farmer clinging to tradition before seeing their role. Poverty eloquently testifies to disproportionate climate burdens. The Youth bring hope and call for unity. 

Throughout, Moon expresses scepticism that humans are worth saving, while Earth has faith humanity can change. Through razor-sharp satire and earnest pathos, this allegorical play compellingly explores humanity’s denial, then hope of changing course toward sustainability and harmony with nature, if we listen to the voices of the vulnerable and act in time. 

A warning and a call to action!
