Saving the Earth is a filthy business.
Welcome to the Kyoto Conference Centre, December 11, 1997. The nations of the world are in deadlock. Time is running out and a climate change agreement feels a world away. The greatest obstacle: American oil lobbyist and master strategist, Don Pearlman…
Fresh off critically acclaimed, sold-out productions in Stratford-upon-Avon and London’s West End, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Good Chance production of Kyoto makes its U.S. debut with an eerily prescient message. Written by Good Chance Theatre Artistic Directors and playwrights Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson (The Jungle) and nominated for a 2025 Olivier Award for Best New Play, Kyoto is a sharp, searing and darkly comic story of the moment all nations tried to set aside their differences for the sake of the earth.
Declared “gripping” (The Times) and “extraordinarily funny” (Variety), Kyoto asks who gets to decide what’s worth saving when the entire planet is at risk—and what we’re willing to give up so we can move forward, together. Presented by Lincoln Center Theater.
