A Family Business

About

From China Plate Theatre and Staatstheatre Mainz

A show about how not to blow up the planet …

Written and performed by Chris Thorpe
Directed by Claire O'Reilly
Developed with Rachel Chavkin and Lekan Lawal

We don't really talk about nuclear weapons much.

Even though they accompany us everywhere.

Invisible guests in cafés, on the shelves of supermarkets, in line at the cash machine.

Guests that could destroy all of that and more in a second.

A Family Business is about diplomats, activists, and a journey to change the world. If these weapons could wipe out all our tomorrows, then why aren't we all talking about them today?

In partnership with Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg. Supported by Warwick Arts Centre and using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
