Overview
A new play by Timberlake Wertenbaker, receiving its world premiere at the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, in which animals and the natural world take the place of human negotiators.
This new play by Timberlake Wertenbaker, whose works include Our Country's Good, Jefferson's Garden, The Love of the Nightingale and Little Brother, has its world premiere in this production. A negotiator and an interpreter are summoned to a secret emergency meeting, where a chicken, a rat, a snow leopard and a body of voices from the natural world are waiting for them. The voices press for an end to exploitation and ecological destruction.
The piece is described as funny, furious and unsettling, and it imagines the moment the earth starts to answer back. It combines politics, wit, philosophy and mischief, and is framed as an experiment in seeing the world from another's point of view.
The production is staged at the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in London. Alongside the standard performances, the run includes relaxed performances, captioned performances, British Sign Language interpreted performances and an audio described performance.
