Theatre for Climate is a new Wellington theatre group performing entertaining, thought-provoking plays about climate change issues. We are excited to present our debut production of Don't Look Now, a collection of short plays for a changing climate by award-winning playwright Angie Farrow, directed by David O'Donnell.

Don’t Look Now is a collection of short plays for a changing climate, following multiple perspectives you’d be able to see within your own community. From a concerned parent on their radical ‘greenwashed’ daughter to an old woman who climbed up a tree as it faces an arborist, Don’t Look Now is set to be an evening of spectacular performance shortly followed by refreshments and a kōrero on how you can make an impactful difference to the climate crisis within our communities.

“These are short plays but they say so much about our human responses to the environmental crisis – our mixed emotions, our protests, actions, inactions, fears, frustrations, complacency, doubts” says director David O’Donnell. “Angie’s writing is funny and true, full of colourful characters, with a playful sense of the absurd. Her work is highly entertaining while also making us think” … “We see the potential of theatre to start discussions, to open up new possibilities, to imagine solutions and a better future together.”

You can see Don't Look Now on 28th Feb Vogelmorn Bowling Club from 7-9pm, with additional performances on 26th Feb Newtown Community Centre, 6th March at Strathmore Park Community Centre, and 5 April at Ngaio Union Church.

In 2020, the world began to experience Covid-19.

In the same year, my mother was diagnosed with depression and subsequently with dementia.

In the end of December 2021, based on my observations of both my own condition and my mother's illness, I created "Dance with Dementia"

At the end of February 2024, my mother passed away due to kidney failure, returning to heaven. In June 2024, I attended the 12th Atlanta Fringe Festival with my team, carrying a heart of mourning. We performed four shows at the Metropolitan Theatre and ultimately received the Critics' Choice 2024 award.

I hope to continue sharing the creation of "Dance with Dementia" with different friends and to further develop the work. As the world faces the phenomenon of an aging population, we or our loved ones may be at risk of developing dementia. I hope more people can more concerts to this illness and the needs of caregivers.
