About Kyoto

Welcome to the Kyoto Conference Centre, 11 December 1997. The nations of the world are in deadlock and 11 hours have passed since the UN’s landmark climate conference should have ended. Time is running out and agreement feels a world away. The greatest obstacle: American oil lobbyist and master strategist, Don Pearlman...

Featuring a ‘barnstorming performance’ (Financial Times) from Stephen Kunken (The Handmaid’s Tale), Kyoto sees Olivier award-winning directors Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin (Stranger Things: The First Shadow) reunite with Good Chance's Artistic Directors and playwrights Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson (The Jungle), for this sharp, searing and darkly comic story of the moment all nations tried to set aside their differences for the sake of the planet.

The compelling play seats you at the heart of the action, and shows that even in a climate of rapidly rising temperatures, the impossible really can become possible. Be part of that moment with our limited ‘In conference’ seats which give audience members the chance to be one of the delegates in the play.

It’s worth the applause!
