Life, love, and making money, as things heat up

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)
