The date is April 2026. Britain, under a new government, has just suffered serious flooding. In an office in Whitehall, scientists argue about the immediacy of the threat from climate change, while politicians jockey for position, and bicker about public perception.

Whilst entertaining us by poking fun at the flawed personalities of the characters involved, Resilience reminds us of the very real threat of environmental disaster, as the play hurtles towards its dramatic conclusion.
This is an amateur production of Steve Water's environmental drama.
Time Out described Resilience as the “first and best British play on climate change”. And The Guardian called it “an urgent wake-up call…. Waters’ massive achievement is to have made the most important issue of our times into engrossing theatre.”
