The Wicked Problem

With climate-related disasters on the rise, what would you put first – the future of the planet or your family?

The year is 2061. A man has lost his job. His mum is dying; his child and wife are starving and cold. They’ve been forgotten within society. He takes matters into his own hands and breaks the law to help his family; he helps his entire community who would have nothing without him. But this law is in place to save humanity. Is he guilty of a crime? Does he deserve to be punished for this crime?

You are part of the first ever trial to decide the fate of an individual who has broken a climate law. You, the audience, are the jury.

Born out of a desire to bring together arts and science, Ergon Theatre’s production explores themes around climate change, equity and sustainability, offering audiences a uniquely interactive experience as they investigate the future of Britain.
