NHB Modern Plays- Fire

An exciting and moving drama about climate protesters, and those who love to hate them. Performed at Arcola Theatre, London, in 2026, before embarking on a UK tour. 'Things won't change if I plan to never piss anyone off.' When the memorial that Eddie has arranged for his brother is disrupted by a climate action protest, sparks fly between him and the protest organiser, Paige. After trading insults, they expect never to see each other again. But they do. Again. And again. And again. Until they feel there is no choice but to join forces and take drastic action together. Fire Fire is an exciting and moving drama about the people taking big risks to protest, and those who love to hate them. Do the two sides have more in common than they think? John Webber's play was first produced by Webber & Co. with Metal Rabbit in association with Harlow Playhouse, and performed at Arcola Theatre, London, in 2026, directed by Jennifer Tang, before embarking on a UK tour.
