Summary

It’s not a negotiation, it’s hand to hand combat.

11 December 1997
The Kyoto Conference Centre, 5am

The nations of the world are in deadlock. Eleven hours have passed since the UN’s landmark climate conference should have ended. Time is running out. And agreement feels a world away.

Their prize: the world’s first legally binding emissions targets. Their obstacle: American oil lobbyist and master strategist, Don Pearlman.

Kyoto is the breathless tale of a moment when, finally, the impossible seemed possible. It opened at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in June 2024, in a co-production between Good Chance and the RSC.

Critic Reviews

Truly remarkable . . . brilliantly realised history . . . a superb evisceration of all our continued complacency.

Gripping theatre . . . this play about the diplomatic consequences of commas deserves a string of exclamation marks.
