A Citizens' Assembly By Andy Smith & Linsey O'sullivan - Gateshead Central Library

About


We are the citizens! This is our assembly! We are the actors in this story!

What are we doing about the climate emergency? What are we not doing? What more could we be doing? What more should we be doing?

Be part of the story and join the debate with A Citizens’ Assembly, a new work by acclaimed theatre maker Andy Smith created in collaboration with applied arts practitioner Lynsey O’Sullivan. Part of a series of works called Plays For The People: plays written to be performed by the people in the room.

‘Smith’s optimism is infectious’ – Total Theatre.



‘Climate emergency is a subject that overwhelms many of us, making us feel helpless, but the brilliance of A CITIZENS' ASSEMBLY is the way it structures discussion around the subject by asking questions of how we can act and cleverly casting the audience as actors in the unfolding story’ – Lyn Gardner, The Stage
