Global warming is a hot topic these days, but this new script from award-winning playwright Claire Urwin gives it a whole new angle. Urwin presents a highly imaginatively created world, based on an Earth devastated by firestorms, acid rain and solar flares. It gives her a chance for language games with survivors who've forgotten how it all works, and she also has fun with an amusing deconstruction of modern society and turns of speech, even if the laughs come from the survivors' misunderstandings more than anything else. A detailed world is built until the emotional, brutal conclusion, at which point the lesbian subtext suddenly makes sense. Another imaginative, image-rich creation from Urwin.
