About Crisis: A Rallying Cry

Crisis: A Rallying Cry is an ensemble-devised, new theatre piece created by 10 young emerging artists.

Exploring climate change and mental health, the ensemble has brought their own opinions and experiences to our sessions over the following week to depict what’s really going on in the lives of young people. Crisis: A Rallying Cry is a piece of new theatre that explores the personal, political, and scientific resonance of the multitude of crises within our society.

It’s been a rough few years, and we’re scared it might not get better. This is the reality of the pandemic-prodigies whose future lies on the fault lines of impending lockdowns, government scandals, and Jeff-Bezos-supremacy.

This show is part of the Traverse's £1 tickets initiative.
