Featuring napalm-carrying suicide skydivers and a big nuclear weapon in the hands of a mysterious organisation called The Children of Gaia, The Bomb is a dark and thought-provoking comedy.It's about fanaticism. It's about hoping the people that lead you know what they're doing. It's about being able to make a decision. Hopefully the right one.

The Bomb is very much a play about today, says writer/director/producer Anders Falstie: "When the bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki it wasn't physically done by the American president. No, he told some guy to tell some guy to drop the bomb. It's the chain of command and we're all part of one. We take orders from our spouse, our boss, a man in a cave, a man in an office, the government, God, the council, a commander of a KZ camp. The Bomb is about the person at the end of the chain of command."
