About the event

Shakespearean tropes. Climate breakdown. One unpredictable hour of improv.

This isn’t your standard improv show. This isn't your traditional play about climate change, either. This is an audience-led improvised performance where a collision of original characters, born from Shakespeare's most enduring archetypes, must navigate the pressures of a rapidly changing world.

Join Edinburgh scholars for a lively discussion on Shakespeare's hidden environmental wisdom. Then, your insights and thoughts become the show! After the performance, stick around to unpack what just happened. What insights might we take with us into our real lives?

The performance on 24 August will feature Peter Adkins and Eoin Price (both English Literature). The performance on 25 August will feature Inma Sánchez Garcia (Intermediality) and David Farrier (English Literature).
