The shocks were just the opening act
And then we're really in the climate era

Scenes from the Climate Era is a fast-paced, unsettling, and darkly human response to the climate crisis. Told through more than fifty short scenes, the play jumps across continents and timeframes, from community halls and conferences to nightclubs and flood barriers, capturing how our changing climate is never far from peoples’ minds and lives.

By weaving together moments of hope, humour, uncertainty, and grief, the play resists simple narratives or solutions. Instead, it asks how to – and whether we can – live with a crisis that is simultaneously omnipresent and somehow so easy to ignore.

Performed with minimal staging and rapid role changes, Scenes from the Climate Era brings the global crisis into sharp focus, inviting audiences to recognise familiar patterns of denial, optimism, and reckoning — and to reflect on what comes next.
