Written by David Finnigan | Directed by Anthea Williams

 

A lone frog calls out for a mate, it is the last of its kind.

Tides rise until there is no coastline of sand and beaches.

Scientists dump gravel in the sea of the antarctic, and sulfur dioxide into the sky.

Denial, solutions, grief and hope.

These are the stages we all face as we come to grips with the climate emergency. This is a play about the impacts of our actions, on ourselves and the world. It offers stories of humanity, and our attempt to reckon with sublime and daunting ideas; in the face of an existential crisis never before experienced.
