A high-stakes political thriller unfolds as the world battles to save the planet at Kyoto.
A gripping new political thriller Kyoto, transferring to London’s West End after a critically acclaimed run in Stratford-upon-Avon. Presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Good Chance, this tense drama takes you to the heart of the Kyoto Conference Centre in December 1997, where world leaders face a monumental deadlock over climate agreements.
American oil lobbyist Don Pearlman, played by Stephen Kunken (Billions, The Handmaid’s Tale), is at the center of the action as time runs out. Directed by Olivier award-winners Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin (Stranger Things: The First Shadow), Kyoto blends sharp wit and dark comedy to tell a story of global stakes and political maneuvering.
Hailed as “sheer theatrical magic” (WhatsOnStage), this production places you at the center of a world where, against all odds, hope might just prevail.
