The play is set fifty years from today in a world so badly ravaged by a climate catastrophe, the human race is being forced to evacuate Earth and start again on Mars. Whale Song explores emerging, present-day attitudes towards the unfolding climate crisis and the value of human and animal life on planet Earth. “They’re lonely. Imagine being the last person left on Earth, wandering around every day, calling out for someone who isn’t there… they won’t stop looking though. We wouldn’t.”Written and directed by Frazer Shepherdson CAST (In order of appearance): POLITICIAN: Ella FerrisROCHELLE: Isha MenonSAM: Frazer ShepherdsonSAILOR: Miela AnichREPORTER: Jessica LuPROTESTERS: Endrico Botha, Tayla Abbott, Brittany NgADDITIONAL VOICES: Jessica Lu, Ella Ferris, Tayla Abbott, Hugo Gutteridge, Endrico Botha, Justin Tan & Brittany NgComposer | Sound Designer: Jack BurmeisterSound Engineer: Reuben CummingSpecial thanks to the Newport Community Hub and the Cybec Foundation for their generosity and support.
