CLIMATE CHANGE & THE GLOBAL STAGE
Planet & The People
How can the world work together to fight climate change
info_outlineHaving made a career in theatre and film as a writer and actor, I like to think the arts can be pretty powerful in lots of ways, but how can it be used to inspire us about climate change?
I spoke to playwright April De Angelis whose 20 year career has seen her plays produced at the National Theatre, The Royal Court and the RSC among many others. In 2011 her play 'Jumpy' starring Tamsin Grieg, received much acclaim.
April is also a longstanding activist and a part of Extinction Rebellion. She has a new play, 'Extinct' coming out at the Theatre Royal Stratford East, which she talks to me about in the episode.
