Press Release
Sydney
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, everything that can go wrong, does. A stereotypical ‘eco terrorist hero’ plants a bomb to save the day. A frazzled film crew battles the clock to make their final shot. And somewhere between artistic ambition and environmental catastrophe, both the movie – and the planet – teeter on the brink.
In this film-within-a-play, storytelling and science collide with hilarious and unsettling consequences.
“Wohl’s script has iceberg-like depths beneath all its surface pleasures.” The Wrap
Directed by Sahn Millington, known for her New Theatre production of Picnic at Hanging Rock, (★★★★ – Sydney Morning Herald), this insightful and timely show addresses the question at the forefront of our minds: how do we save the planet?
