About this ebook
Chris Bush's play (Not) the End of the World was first staged at the Schaubühne in Berlin in 2021, directed by Katie Mitchell.
'Staggering… Bush's remarkable text melds a ruthless structural concept with exquisite lyricism' - Guardian
'A play of endless permutations, interrogating the idea of choice and individual agency in the face of planetary crisis… Bush's fractal text, like a shattered sheet of ice, combines vivid passages about embracing the paths unchosen with a stark account of the consequences of vanishing marine life and rising temperatures. It is intentionally contradictory, at once putting the onus on the individual, while highlighting the need for change at a governmental level. It deftly captures these tensions, while articulating the mental tug of war underlining many of our decisions' - The Stage
