Earthquakes in London - review

Theatre Royal, Bath

questions require responses from large main theater and rape of our planet is covered playwright Mike Bartlett epic and bold production, directed by Rupert Goold on a night that lasts more than three hours and runs from 1968 to 2525. Earthquakes in London has the power and arrogance, but it is incomplete and teeth-grindingly whimsical in his vision of a Messiah to save the planet, cartoons. It feels important, but then leaves you a little hungry.

of the story is the young scientist Robert, at first glance to first date with his future wife in the 60's, swing, which sells its scientific principles to take a job as an apologist for the airline industry as a child, then leaves her three daughters.

Fast forward 20 years, Robert has become a prophet of climate change that pronounces all convicts. Sarah is the eldest daughter of the Minister of ice to the environment in the government coalition, and is about to make a decision on airport expansion, and the girl Jasmine is a hedonistic abandon. Middle daughter Freya is pregnant, and in a state of acute anxiety to a child in a world that seems to move the ground beneath their feet.

First seen at the Cottesloe in 2010 in a production that puts the audience into the performance space, the work had to be substantially reinvented by the director and designer Caroline Steinbeis Miriam Buether revival of the tour by traditional theaters .

not Robert announced that six billion people on a planet that can support a single dollar, and the next century "that will balance the books", so it's a night you left shaken, if all the waves - although the use of platinum is indeed staggering. Stage director deserves a medal, as the cast of the law, but there is something strange in a game that requires a vision both to preach the need to use less.
