Unstoppable: A beginner’s guide to making an (im)possibly glorious future

Ethan and Stella have been best friends ever since the post-it note incident at work. Now Ethan’s got a new job halfway across the world and Stella has a burning question that can’t wait. One that might change everything, forever.

Unstoppable is a funny, inventive new play about the kind of future we want and how we can shape it. A love story between friends has consequences that resound across multiple possible futures, from seed libraries to concrete-smashing parties, real democracy to treetop saunas. Exploring tipping points, in human lives and the earth’s living systems, the play takes inspiration from climate and systems science, revealing how we all have the power to build radical hope in a time of crisis.

Come see this work-in-progress version of the show and help us develop the play with your feedback and ideas.
