Burnout

Author(s): Nicole Acquah
Company: ShyBairn Theatre

The play is set in a flooded pub in a familiar Cumbrian town and follows Amara who meets Bridgette at a protest, one of them ‘hippy, green, save-the-planet’ things.

Bridgette is a committed activist and Amara’s about to finish her GCSEs. Their town’s been flooded again. But how is getting arrested going to help anything?

Their Cumbrian town is rapidly undergoing vast gentrification whilst the residents rally to save their home and beyond with the help of Bridgette’s ‘Citizen Rebel’ activist group.
