In this special scratch event preceding the performance of Scenes from the Climate Era, 6–8 emerging writers from global majority backgrounds will present brand-new short works responding directly to the climate crisis. These could be conversations happening at any level, in any place, today, tomorrow or in the future. Directed by Scenes from the Climate Era’s Associate Director, Grace Waga Glevey, the event will showcase these pieces performed by a professional cast, followed by an open discussion between the writers and audience exploring the play’s central themes.
At the Gate we believe that what happens after the play is the point of the play, as a result we have created the Gateways programme – a series of opportunities for audiences and artists to reflect on the work we make and the world we are making it in. We’re delighted to present this scratch performance as part of this programme.
