Cabaret, we've got our heads down and we're dancing and drinking as fast as we can.
The enemy is on its way, but this time, it doesn't have guns and gas; it has storms and earthquakes, fire, and brimstone.
You were the glimmer. At the end of the tunnel.
And you went out.
Earthquakes in London is a fast and furious metropolitan crash of people, scenes, and decades, as three sisters attempt to navigate their dislocated lives and loves, while their dysfunctional father, a brilliant scientist, predicts global catastrophe.
The play deals, through amplified theatricality, with a range of contemporary issues from population growth to climate change.
An all-pervasive fear of the future and a guilty pleasure in the excesses of the present drive Mike Bartlett's epic rollercoaster of a play from 1968 to 2525 and back again.
Earthquakes in London was first published in 2010 and has subsequently become a much-produced and widely studied drama text.
It is published here as a Student Edition alongside commentary and notes by Bridget Escolme.
The ancillary material is geared at students and includes:
- an introduction outlining the play's plot, character, themes, context, and performance history
- the full text of the play
- a chronology of the playwright's life and work
- extensive textual notes
- questions for further study
- an interview with the playwright
