Presented by Shybairn Theatre
‘Your bamboo toothbrush won’t save us, you don’t recycle it anyways!’
Amara meets Bridgette at a protest, one of those, ‘hippy, green, save-the-planet’ things. She’s just popped out to grab some milk and now she’s late - and there's a flood coming.
Bridgette’s a committed activist. Amara’s about to finish her GCSEs. Their town’s been flooded. Again.
But how’s getting arrested going to help anything? They can’t afford to do that.
Burnout is devised by ShyBairn Theatre (Breach Theatre Associate Company 2021/2022), written by Nicole Acquah (Women’s Playwriting Prize Shortlist 2022 for SANKOFA) and created with climate activists across the UK.
Kindly funded by Arts Council England with development supported by Live Theatre, artsdepot and New Diorama Broadgate.
