On 14 November 2026, the Royal Court Theatre presents *The Afronauts*, a compelling new play set in Zambia in 1964, where the space race gains an unlikely new contender. The story follows a group of dreamers who, against the backdrop of global superpower competition, attempt to push the boundaries of what is possible. Through the medium of live theatre, the production explores the tension between aspiration and limitation, asking what it truly means to reach for the stars when the odds are stacked against you. Featuring a diverse cast of actors, the performance runs at the London venue. Ticket prices are available on the theatre’s website.
