I’m so honored to be a part of this! From The Arctic Cycle and the 2021 Climate Change Theatre Action:
ANNOUNCING OUR CCTA 2021 PLAYWRIGHTS –
We asked them to write short plays inspired by the Green New Deal and its global equivalents. We encouraged them to show us what their dream future looks like – and how we might get there. We can’t wait to share the worlds that they have created.
They are from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Hong Kong, India, Kenya, Korea, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Uganda, UK, and the U.S., and they represent seven Indigenous Nations.
