Earthquakes In London

“You feel it, we all do. We know there’s nothing to be done, so we’re dancing and drinking as fast as we can…” Mike Bartlett’s (Doctor Foster, King Charles III, The Town, 13) rampaging panorama of the UK in the twenty first century has at its epicentre the unsettled lives of three sisters: one a politician, another heavily pregnant and the other a rebellious teenager.

They share an absent scientist father who has predicted the environmental annihilation of humanity. All four struggle to find their truths against a shifting backdrop of strip joints, business meetings, rural Scotland, uncomfortable truths and swimming in Hampstead Heath.

A chaotic odyssey of contemporary excess, where people and belief systems are in relentless movement and transformation. Like all great plays it is both human and political and charges us to respond to our time.
