About:
‘If you survive the apocalypse, don’t you get to help build what comes
after?' The Forever Wave is an audio experience set in drowned San
Francisco, circa 2070 inspired by Dylan Thomas’ iconic play for voices,
Under Milk Wood. Drawing on geography, climate science and local Bay
Area history it offers a comprehensive look at a what-if future should
climate change and economic inequality continue to fail to be addressed.
An array of almost 70 voices – survivors and dead alike – are brought to
vivid life by a multicultural, multigenerational, and multilingual cast
of 12.
