Greenland

by Moira Buffini, Matt Charman, Penelope Skinner & Jack Thorne

A thrilling new piece of theatre exploring the big questions around climate change.

What on earth is happening to our planet?
Who knows what and what can or should be done about it?

The questions we all have about the environment and the future are exhilaratingly intricate. Knowing what and who to trust is an increasingly bewildering challenge. Only a few things are certain: every living thing is related to every other living thing; our actions have consequences; change is constant and inevitable.

The National Theatre asked four of the country’s most exciting writers to investigate today’s most urgent issue. The team spent six months interviewing key individuals from the worlds of science, politics, business and philosophy in an effort to understand our changing planet.

Greenland draws together several separate but connected stories into a fast-paced and provocative new play, performed by a brilliant NT company.
