Synopsis

The Contingency Plan is a double-bill of plays (Resilience; and On the Beach) from the frontline of climate change. Frightening, intensely topical and utterly credible it premiered at London's award-winning Bush Theatre. While both plays can stand alone, together they present an epic portrait of an England of the near future, in which massive flooding threatens to sink the east coast. With events seen through the eyes of a bright young climatologist, somewhat reluctantly recruited by an increasingly desperate Government, The Contingency Plan is genuinely chilling as a prediction of our immediate future.
