A frog, the last of its species, starts calling for a mate, but there’s no-one to hear.
A group of friends reminisce about the last time they took a flight, before all that came to an end.
A scientist is coached on how to speak to the media in digestible soundbites.
A family takes to the water, needing a new home, new hope….
The AU Review – “Raw, vulnerable and utterly engaging.” 5 stars
It’s sixty-five short scenes – comic, tragic, and everything in between.
Jam-packed with info, humanity and truth, but never wagging its finger in your face, Scenes From The Climate Era is a play about now. About the choices we made yesterday, and the difficult beauty of tomorrow.
Audience review: “It’s hard to imagine a play about climate change that can be equal parts thought-provoking and laugh-out-loud funny.”
Content Warning: Contains the use of strobe lighting. Some elements of the show’s design may affect people with coeliac’s disease (wheat-based sand effect used on stage)
