Maya and the Whale
Coming to Paisley Arts Centre in October, Maya and The Whale is the story of a young climate activist on the run, grappling for hope amid unfolding global disasters.
About Maya and the Whale
Maya finds herself face to face with a dying whale and is confronted with the enormity of the task ahead. Her dad works in the oil industry and her mum just wants her to enjoy a childhood free of worry, but how can she go about business as usual when there’s a Climate Emergency?
The audience plays the part of the dying whale in this darkly comic and provocative one woman show for a generation faced with unprecedented challenges.
