ANTHROPOCENE is a bold fusion of coming-of-age realism and experimental performance, directed by Emily Hawkins (As If You Know Me) and James Christensen (Apocalypse Bear). Appearing at Baron’s Court Theatre, 13-17 August 2025 at 3:30 PM each day.
ABOUT: When Diana’s mother dies of cancer, she’s left adrift until she discovers a notebook filled with her mother’s unfinished mission to save the world from climate catastrophe. Grieving, defiant, and armed with imagination, Diana sets out to find the elusive Dr. Johann and complete her mother’s quest. Her journey is mirrored by a poetic, visual retelling of the Earth’s origin, from the Big Bang to humanity’s first spark of fire — unfolding through movement, sound, and image.
Starring Rosie Yates (The Bombing of Pan Am 103), Naomi Paxton (Ada Campe), Patrick Strain (Teacher of the Year), and Jasper Price (As If You Know Me), ANTHROPOCENE is not to be missed.
At once mythic and intimate, ANTHROPOCENE is a theatrical meditation on environmental collapse, parental loss, and growing up in a world on fire. It asks: Why do we want to save the world? What are we really fighting for?
