‘Can you feel it? Something is hanging in the balance – ready to fall.’
1856. New York. Eunice sits in what will become Central Park and wonders if her research into CO2 is telling her something is going horribly wrong.
2027. London. Claire falls in love as the heatwave breaks and the streets begin to flood.
2100. Svalbard. While an 86-day storm rages outside, Ana hears a baby crying in the seed vault.
The world is ending, sure. But what happens in between?
Flora Wilson Brown’s The Beautiful Future Is Coming is a fast-paced, funny and wildly inventive look at 250 years of real and imagined history through the eyes of three couples.
Nancy Medina (A Good House; Choir Boy – Best Director, Black British Theatre Awards 2024) directs this powerful story about the climate crisis, and holding onto hope and humanity against all odds.
