Ten Short Plays About the Climate Crisis

Ten writers were asked to respond to the prompt “The Time Is Now” for Climate Change Theatre Action 2025, a worldwide festival of short plays about the climate crisis. Intentionally open-ended, the prompt can be understood as a call to action or a reminder to stay connected to the present moment, as an ultimatum or the promise of a new beginning. The plays included in this book are the responses. Featuring Klae Bainter, Isla Cowan, Angie Farrow, Lewis Hetherington, Andrea Ling, Tira Palmquist, Juan C. Sanchez, Darrah Teitel, Kirby Vicente, and Kevin Matthew Wong.
