I went to see Kyoto at the Soho place - about the groundbreaking Kyoto climate agreement and the lawyer hired by big oil to derail proceedings - and it was fantastic. Simultaneously infuriating and inspiring, it brings UN climate negotiations to life and highlights the genuine heroism of some of the negotiators.
Everyone in the audience was given a lanyard, and some audience members were even sat at the negotiating table.
Some people seem to think the play has a too-happy ending but I disagree, I think it's very clearly a bittersweet conclusion that I feel is appropriate. I got a huge kick out of the details from both the climate side and the UN side.
