Lyric & Poetry

'I'm awake. I'm alive. Everything's real and I love you.' Lin, an astronaut, speeds towards a distant planet. He's on a pioneering solo mission to create a new home for humankind. His only human contact is an exchange of voice messages with his lover, Silas, back on Earth. But thanks to the laws of relativity, Silas is ageing so much faster than Lin. Days for the astronaut will be decades for the lover left behind. As disaster befalls the spacecraft and planet Earth falls apart, Silas and Lin's love is tested to the limit. Timothy X Atack's DELAY is a love story. A suspenseful, heartwrenching yet hopeful queer sci-fi stage play about saying what you mean and saying goodbye. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2025.
