'We - artists, thinkers, creators - have a responsibility to
communicate the truth of the climate emergency. The world is
shape-shifting and our culture must too.' This book is a guide to
one hundred brilliant plays addressing the most urgent and
important issue of our time: the climate crisis. The plays - drawn
from around the world, written by one hundred different writers,
and demonstrating a vast span of styles, genres and cast sizes -
all speak to an aspect of the climate emergency. Encompassing both
famous plays and lesser-known works, the selection includes recent
writing that explicitly wrestles with these issues, as well as
classic texts in which these resonances now ring out clearly. Each
play is explored in a concise essay illuminating key themes, and
highlighting its contribution to our understanding of climate
issues, with sections including Resources, Energy, Migration,
Responsibility, Fightback and Hope. 100 Plays to Save the World is
a book to provoke as well as inspire - to start conversations, to
inform debate, to challenge our thinking, and to be a launch pad
for future productions. It is also an empowering resource for
theatre directors, producers, teachers, youth leaders and writers
looking for plays that speak to our present moment. Above all, it
is a call to arms, to step up, think big, and unleash theatre's
power to imagine a better future into being. The book includes a
foreword by Daze Aghaji, a leading youth climate justice activist.
'This book is a kind of miracle, a thrilling compendium of plays
that speak to the enormous environmental crisis of our time.
Freestone and O'Hare have exquisite taste and brilliant analysis,
illuminating plays I've never heard of, as well as plays I thought
I knew. 100 Plays to Save the World should be required reading for
everyone who believes in the power of theatre to move the world; I
will certainly never plan a season again without referring to it.'
Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director, The Public Theater, New York 'This
book is dynamite. Through lively play analysis and accessible
environmental know-how, it will galvanise theatre-makers to step up
and artists to be heard. Theatre must play its part in the climate
fight and this book shows us how.' Kwame Kwei-Armah, Artistic
Director, Young Vic Theatre, London
