Beyond the Fringe Title

It’s International Wildlife Diversity Appreciation Day and two awkward but intelligent, socially aware grade-eights, Kitt and Jane (the boy’s unwelcome nick-name) are at the front of the assembly. Minutes in they’ve hijacked their own presentation to let us know the apocalypse is coming in five years. They don’t have a lot of time to convince us that this is 'science, not fiction' and survival techniques must be learned.
