SAVING THE EARTH IS A FILTHY BUSINESSHailed as a ‘genuinely daring’ (The Standard) ‘triumph’ (Telegraph), Kyoto has opened in London’s West End to rave reviews and is the ‘only play you need to see right now’ (Broadway World).
Brought to you by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Good Chance, transferring fresh from Stratford-upon-Avon, this ‘total thrill ride’ (Time Out) brings a world of hope to @sohoplace for a strictly limited season until 3 May.
Welcome to the Kyoto Conference Centre, 11 December 1997. The nations of the world are in deadlock and 11 hours have passed since the UN’s landmark climate conference should have ended. Time is running out and agreement feels a world away. The greatest obstacle: American oil lobbyist and master strategist, Don Pearlman…
Featuring a ‘barnstorming performance’ (Financial Times) played with of ‘demonic charm’ (Metro) by Stephen Kunken (Billions and The Handmaid’s Tale), Kyoto sees Olivier award-winning directors Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin (Stranger Things: The First Shadow) reunite with Good Chance’s Artistic Directors and playwrights Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson (The Jungle), for this sharp, searing and darkly comic story of the moment all nations tried to set aside their differences for the sake of the planet.
Both ‘gripping’ (The Times) and ‘extraordinarily funny’ (Variety), Kyoto seats you at the heart of the action, and shows that even in a climate of rapidly rising temperatures, the impossible really can become possible.
Don’t miss out on this ‘hot ticket’ (Daily Mail) book now.
