Earthquakes in London
By Mike Bartlett
Directed by Jonathan Berry
January 26 - March 18, 2017

As global destruction approaches, the lives of a climate scientist and his three estranged daughters come crashing unexpectedly back together. The wildly epic Earthquakes in London embodies the chaos of today's society, and asks us what matters most when everything's falling apart.
