An all-pervasive fear of the future and a guilty pleasure in the excesses of the present drive this epic rollercoaster of a play from 1968 to 2525 and back again.

Go behind-the-scenes of this production in Guildhall School's latest video.

Earthquakes in London follows three sisters as they attempt to navigate their dislocated lives and loves while their dysfunctional father, a brilliant scientist, predicts global catastrophe.

From localised social breakdown to worldwide paranoia, Mike Bartlett’s fast and furious play explores the domestic and the epic effects of climate change on us all.
