The Lost Race

A deep space mission stumbles over the first known surviving functional relics of an extinct civilization; before this they were known only from the scorched locations where their cities once were. Despite the captain's desire to return home, the expedition is forced to explore the site, which may contain clues to why the Lost Race exterminated itself.

This reminded me of Forbidden Planet, which post-dates this play by about six years. Hmmm. Biologists should be warned the ending of this will not make you happy.

Is this based on a Murray Leinster story? In which they foresaw their descendants being horrible monsters?
