The seas are boiling, cities are flooding, and the world is full of plastic. Welcome to the climate era.

Scenes from the Climate Era isn’t just a conversation about climate change, it’s a dizzying stream of dozens, snapping from absurd comedy to blistering rage to deep vulnerability. Set in the past, the present and a possible future, this play tackles the biggest story in human history.

This scorching new work by Australian playwright David Finnigan, the son of a climate scientist, charts a course for humanity through the slow-moving cataclysm that is bearing down upon us. Time is no longer "running out", Finnigan says. It’s simply passing.

“In the last few years, I’ve come to think of climate as an era, not an issue. It's a historical period, not an event with a before and after. For our generation - and for many generations to come - it's the backdrop of our entire lives”

A co-production by Auckland Theatre Company and Silo Theatre, Scenes from the Climate Era is a collective call to action of the greatest urgency. You won’t be able to look away.
