Ben and Clara are eleven. They are best friends. And today, they are going on strike from school. The fate of the world depends on it. Inspired by Greta Thunberg and the Fridays For Future Youth-led Climate Protests, We Should Be in School is a comedic two-person show about young people trying to affect change before it is too late. An exploration of climate change, the power of protest and how little actions can have big impacts.
Devised by Ona Nurkkala, Florian Korty, Matthew Wells and Phillip Kavanagh.
