SAVING THE EARTH IS A FILTHY BUSINESS?

Book now for Kyoto, the ‘truly remarkable’ (WhatsOnStage) new political thriller as it transfers to London’s West End in 2025. Brought to you by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Good Chance, fresh from a critically acclaimed run in Stratford-upon-Avon, this ‘tense and gripping’ (Guardian) show brings a world of hope to @sohoplace for a strictly limited 16-week season from 9 January.

Welcome to the Kyoto Conference Centre, 11 December 1997. The nations of the world are in deadlock and 11 hours have passed since the UN’s landmark climate conference should have ended. Time is running out and agreement feels a world away. The greatest obstacle: American oil lobbyist and master strategist, Don Pearlman…

Featuring a ‘barnstorming performance’ (Financial Times) from Stephen Kunken (Billions and The Handmaid’s Tale), Kyoto sees Olivier award-winning directors Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin (Stranger Things: The First Shadow) reunite with Good Chance’s Artistic Directors and playwrights Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson (The Jungle), for this sharp, searing and darkly comic story of the moment all nations tried to set aside their differences for the sake of the planet.

Hailed as ‘rich and vital’ (The i) and ‘sheer theatrical magic’ (WhatsOnStage), Kyoto seats you at the heart of the action, and shows that even in a climate of rapidly rising temperatures, the impossible really can become possible.
