Notes: | "Kathryn Marquet’s great skill has been to create a play that investigates alienation not up in the skies but within our own lives."
— Arts Hub
"Is this just a send-up of the possibility of other life forms in the universe, or are we invited to take the concept seriously? That is perhaps the triumph of this very clever comedy, that it leaves even the most cynical among us wondering just a little, and a little unsure of what we have always taken as certainties."
— Daily Review
"Sometimes pure comedy and a dramady at others, the writing is clever and witty."
— AussieTheatre
"Her first play, Pale Blue Dot, spins the majesty of space science, the comedy of alien conspiracy theories and the terror of domestic relationships into a stellar theatrical yarn. The story is both comfortingly local and compellingly universal, and it’s the kind of dazzling debut that will turn Marquet into a national name."
— Brisbane Times
"Ms Marquet’s script is a dazzler… Pale Blue Dot is a comic delight; its characters, situation, narrative line and dramatic shape are all first rate."
