Written and directed by Steve Cosson
Performed by The Civilians

Humans are hard to organize and they resist changing their collective behavior. The play "The Great Immensity" asks us to imagine if countries and people could galvanize and mobilize around the world's climate summits if it was understood that the consequence of unchecked climate change was the extinction of the most "charismatic megafauna" on earth.

Ingeniously written and executed, with elaborate visual media, powerful voices and lightning quick costume changes. The cast was fabulous! And the play hit its heart-wrenching target.  -dp
