Product Description
The Contingency Plan is a double-bill of plays (Resilience; and On the Beach) from the frontline of climate change. Frightening, intensely topical and utterly credible it premiered at London's award-winning Bush Theatre. While both plays can stand alone, together they present an epic portrait of an England of the near future, in which massive flooding threatens to sink the east coast. With events seen through the eyes of a bright young climatologist, somewhat reluctantly recruited by an increasingly desperate Government, The Contingency Plan is genuinely chilling as a prediction of our immediate future.

Format:Paperback
This book contains the text of two plays which each stand alone but also together form a single body of work. They explore the effects of climate change on Britain in the near future and also family dynamics and relationships as well as politics in Westminster. It is a powerful piece which works on many levels and gives a plausible scenario for some of the potential devatating effects of severe weather on Britain.
