World Problems
A woman summons up her childhood with an intensity so visceral it seems to be playing out in front of us. But as her memories draw closer to the present, the space between the personal and the speculative grows ever more blurry. Where do you end, and everything else begins?
An elegy for the future we’re yet to inherit, World Problems is both comical and terrifying, gripping and cathartic. A solo time capsule catapulting across the ages, it seamlessly merges the most private and intimate reflections with a world-spanning perspective.
Performed with vivid physicality by Carly Sheppard, written by Emma Mary Hall, directed by Cassandra Fumi and designed by Dann Barber, World Problems trains a microscope on one soul to chart the future of all humanity.
