Maya and the Whale is the story of a young climate activist on the run who finds herself face to face with a dying whale.
Her dad works in the oil industry and her mum just wants her to have a childhood free of worry, but how can she go about business as usual when there’s a climate emergency?
If we stand by and ignore current conflict, are we complicit? How far are young people prepared to go to get governments to act? The audience play the part of a dying whale, in this show about smallness facing up to hugeness.
For ages 10+. Please purchase tickets for adults and children.
