‘Your bamboo toothbrush won’t save us, you don’t recycle it anyways.’
Amara meets Bridgette at a protest, one of those, ‘hippy, green, save-the-planet’ things.
Bridgette’s a committed activist. Amara’s about to finish her GCSEs. Their town’s been flooded.
Again.
But how’s getting arrested going to help anything? They can’t afford to do that.
BURNOUT was created with climate activists across the UK. The show exposes the burnout experienced by activists from marginalised communities alongside the burnout of our planet.
BURNOUT is written by Nicole Acquah (Women’s Playwriting Prize Shortlist 2022 for SANKOFA) and devised by the company. It’s a call to action for audiences to think about privilege, activism and climate justice.
