Belvoir St Theatre returns to the Merrigong stage with a stunning work which delivers an engaging climate conversation in an affecting theatrical experience.

From the mind of David Finnigan, an Australian writer and game developer at the forefront of climate change research and writing, comes a wild race through vignettes exploring an uncertain future of beaches where once there were none, travelling the world when aeroplanes are gone, oh, and zombie mice.

Remarkable, illuminating and shocking, Scenes from the Climate Era takes you through over fifty small plays that catch the exhilaration, frustration and fascination of living in interesting times.

Equal parts comedic and thought-provoking, 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.
