The play centres on the lives and loves of three sisters, abandoned long ago by their doom-mongering father. The father is a prominent climate scientist who predicts environmental apocalypse. The eldest sister, Sarah, is a cabinet minister who plans to halt all airport expansion, choosing environment over economy. The middle sister Freya, is heavily pregnant and growing increasingly depressed about the uncertain future her child is being born into. The youngest sister, Jasmine, is a rebellious teenager and frequent nuisance to her career-minded eldest sister. As the three women attempt in their own different ways, to come to terms with the fact their father's pessimistic forecasts may be right, Freya, attempts suicide to avoid bringing her child into an apocalypic future. This show is a rollercoaster of emotion from start to finish and its frantic twists and turns only add the hightened sense of surrealism inside a very real modern world. | The play centres on the lives and loves of three sisters, abandoned long ago by their doom-mongering father.
