THE FORECAST Premieres at the Greenwhich Playhouse; Runs 1/19-2/7

In association with Match Company, Marvin and The cats is proud to present its first production 'The Forecast', from 19th January to 7th February at the Greenwich Playhouse.

Using climate change as a starting point, the play hilariously explores society's different responses to the gradual warming of the planet. The Forecast presents a bitter-sweet tale of survival on a globe running out of steam. A ship sinks in the distance. Three people drift on a raft, trying to survive in a race against the clock.

Marvin and The cats is an international and dynamic group formed of graduates from the eminent theatre school L'Ecole de Jacques Lecoq in Paris. The group presents a unique form of political theatre, using a contemporary style drawing from the European clown tradition, Commedia dell'Arte and mime.

Jay Miller, Director of the company said: "We don't want to preach about the rights and wrongs of people's response and attitudes towards climate change, instead we want to approach the phenomenon from a variety of angles: environmental, economical, ethical, and political. Our play is an entertaining journey through complex issues that will hopefully generate public debate and drive a social movement for change."

He adds: "Our show corkscrews current issues in the news today into tight, funny and thought-provoking set pieces that will appeal to teenagers and adults alike."
