This anthology gathers 10 bold and innovative plays from some of the most exciting voices in modern theatre. These plays explore urgent and timely themes, including climate change, social justice, identity, and the nature of reality.

Diverse Voices, Unifying Themes

One of the most striking things about This Changes Everything is the diversity of voices it represents. The playwrights come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and their plays reflect a multitude of perspectives.

For example, Lucy Kirkwood's The Children follows a group of scientists and their families as they grapple with the ethical implications of climate change. Anders Lustgarten's If I Fall explores the aftermath of a terrorist attack and the search for meaning in a fragmented world.

Despite their differences, these plays are united by their commitment to exploring the human condition. They ask questions about our responsibilities to each other and to the planet, and they challenge us to confront our own prejudices and assumptions.

Innovative Forms, Transformative Power

Not only do the plays in This Changes Everything present diverse voices, they also experiment with innovative forms.

Nina Raine's Tribes uses sign language and spoken language to create a unique and immersive experience. Roy Williams' Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads blends music and theatre to tell the story of a working-class community in crisis.

These innovative forms allow the playwrights to explore their themes in new and exciting ways. They create a heightened sense of reality and draw audiences into the plays' worlds in a visceral way.
