Time Out says Rate it

Steve Waters's climate change double bill is so chilling an affair you can almost hear the flood waters lapping against the theatre's door. 'On the Beach', the weaker of two full-length plays, concerns the return of Geoffrey Streatfeild's glaciologist from Antarctica to visit his parents, who live on the Norfolk coast in a low carbon oasis. Waters writes far better about political passions than he does about human feelings and the second play - 'Resilience' - shows how pointed he can be as Will discovers the realities of working within the government machine as he demands, among other things, the transformation of East Anglia into a vast, unoccupied bog. Waters's script is both scary and very funny, and the sparks fly as the boffins fight with each other and form uneasy alliances with the politicians. Both productions are powerfully realised and impeccably cast by Michael Longhurst and Tamara Harvey.
