In an allegorical piece of new writing, To Those Who Haven't Stopped Thinking, a girl called Hannah arrives in the Universe.

It is a terrible backward place where everything seems to be wrong.

Her parents are Universal, so she has a special interest in improving the Universe, but the people don't seem to want to be helped.

The play, written and directed by Cristina Bejan, is at the Burton Taylor Theatre in Gloucester Street, Oxford, until June 8.

Cristina says: "We want to create a post-apocalyptic comic-book world that the audience will love and despise at the same time.

"There is no greater over-arching message we want to get across with this play aside from this; a girl, who gets lost in the Universe, finds a glimpse of happiness, only to realise it was all hopeless."
