Description

Following sold-out shows in Manchester, Helio Collective debuts at Fringe with a fresh take on how we talk about our planet's future. Unnerving, thought provoking and hilarious, prepare for talking animals, the heights of fast fashion and your (least) favourite politicians reassuring you that climate change is definitely not their fault. From the team that brought you last year’s five-star Manchester Revue comes 'exaggerative comedic finesse' (BingeFringe.com) with a healthy dose of existential dread. With what little time we have left we might as well enjoy ourselves, but how long until everything falls apart?

This is a Double A-star, 10 out of 10, gold-plated show...which features incredible acting, laugh-out-loud jokes, and a clever, fast-paced, thought-provoking script. This is a play about climate change, and raises serious issues and yet the sketches are light-hearted and, to be honest, I haven't laughed as much in ages! However, it also has left me thinking about what more urgently needs to be done by individuals, governments and companies to battle climate change. Fantastic acting, superb script, watch it now!

Go to this show for great writing, performances and a reminder of what we all need to do to stop climate change. Sounds earnest or worthy. It’s not. It’s funny and poignant. Go!

I cannot recommend this show highly enough. Firstly it's hilarious with high energy sketches sneaking in science facts. then it segues into something altogether more serious, thought-provoking and emotional. Not a dry eye in the house. I felt all the emotions- joy, anger, sadness and hope.

I am encouraged to see a younger generation fighting for the world, and this show challenges all of us to see that even younger people are having to fight too! Great passion, story telling, and conviction.

A (very) strong recommend. This is genuinely moving, funny, original and inspiring. The cast of 4 is excellent, all so versitile, equally strong on physical comedy/accents/satire as the more serious/emotional drama. the writing is so impressive too, all the research made it eye-opening politically, all so easy to digest. I can't stop thinking about some of the stuff in it and (as extreme as this sounds) I can't think there are many plays around right now that are more important to see. Perfect if you're confused/concerned about the planet but also if you fancy a laugh, a cry, some hope and inspiration! Thank you and well done to all those involved.

As the show ends with the cast telling us “there is no theatre on a dead planet”, we can hear the sound of crowds of protesters outside.
