Talking About The Fire by Chris Thorpe

Talking About The Fire is a one-person show written and performed by Chris Thorpe inspired by his sister-show A Family Business, which draws on several years’ research with senior arms-control advisors, United Nations (UN) diplomats and activists working to develop the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), as well as officials representing nuclear weapons states. Sometimes the threat slides into view - Russia invades Ukraine - but that doesn’t make the weapons more dangerous. They’re always dangerous. And one day, deliberately or accidentally, they’ll be used again. Talking About The Fire is a show and a conversation. We´ll talk about where we are, where we live, and why it´s important people like us talk about this at all. Created by Chris Thorpe and Claire O’Reilly Written and performed by Chris Thorpe Developed with Rachel Chavkin
