Description

Earthquakes in London is a play that hurtles from 1968 to 2525 and back again. A sense of impending doom drives its narrative, as three sisters struggle to navigate their lives amidst social breakdown, population explosion, and worldwide paranoia. The play's fast-paced dialogue combines strong humanity with biting political commentary, effortlessly embedding itself into every scene. At its core is a dysfunctional family, where a brilliant scientist predicts global catastrophe, leaving his daughters to pick up the pieces. This epic rollercoaster of a play explores the excesses of the present and the fears of the future, set against a backdrop of burlesque strip shows, bad dreams, and metropolitan chaos.
