Atlantis

'Atlantis is at once intimate and epic, fearless and tender, it is family drama and devastating global commentary . . . Emily White is an outstanding talent.' Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti, on behalf of the judges of the George Devine Award 2021 Darkness. Look up. Look up there into the heavens, into the dark limitless expanse of space, and think back to four and a half billion years ago, give or take like. In a small Welsh coastal village, in a bungalow, live a family who will soon be forcibly evacuated from their home. Faced with rising sea levels and government apathy, Gwen and her granddaughter Rhiannon are galvanised into climate activism. As the years pass and the world becomes increasingly hostile, their passionate militantism threatens to rip the family apart. Atlantis opened at Theatr Clwyd, Mold, in June 2026 and transferred to Chichester Festival Theatre in July 2026.
