Steve Waters: The Contingency Plan: "On the Beach", "Resilience"

The Contingency Plan:


Description

"The Contingency Plan" is a double-bill of plays ("Resilience" and "On the Beach") from the frontline of climate change. They stand alone but dove-tail together to present an epic portrait of an England of the near future, in which massive flooding has already destroyed Bristol and now threatens to sink the east coast. We see these events chiefly through the eyes of a bright young climatologist, somewhat reluctantly recruited by an increasingly desperate Government. Impressive in scale and genuinely chilling as a prediction of our immediate future, "The Contingency Plan" premiered at the Bush Theatre, London.

Lew McLeod has been travelling and working with Painter Hayes since he was a boy. Shearing, charcoal burning - whatever comes. Painter made him his first pair of shoes. It's a hard and uncertain life but it's the only one he knows. But Lew's a grown man now. And with this latest job, shearing for John Drysdale and his daughter Clara, everything will change. Stephen Daisley writes in lucid, rippling prose of how things work, and why; of the profound satisfaction in hard work done with care, of love and friendship and the damage that both contain.
