Unprecedented

Unprecedented is not a reason to be unprepared. "I don't hold a hose, mate" From the writer and theatre company which brought you the acclaimed verbatim play Embers comes Unprecedented, a new play raging at the fault lines in the national response to the ‘Black Summer’ bushfires of 2019-20. Meticulously researched and drawing on numerous sources, award-winning playwright Campion Decent fashions a gripping account of the fires and takes the pulse of the nation against a growing backdrop of political short-termism and a polarising media landscape. Part verbatim, part history, and part polemic; with incisive humour and powerful tenderness Unprecedented poses urgent questions about our collective response to a devastating new scale of environmental disaster, and our capacity for resilience in the face of a growing climate emergency. Unprecedented advances the conversation Campion Decent and HotHouse Theatre commenced on Australia's relationship to fire with their award-winning verbatim play, Embers. Blue Mountains Theatre presents a HotHouse Theatre production By Campion Decent Directed by Karla Conway Parental Guidance Recommended for under 15 years (strong language, themes of trauma).
