Just Stop is part of Northern Fanfare, a brand-new festival of original writing celebrating the extraordinary creativity of West Yorkshire voices curated by our Associate Artist Philip Stokes.
Just Stop
Presented by 412, Lawrence Batley Theatre and Righton Productions
Written and directed by Thomas Carruthers
Starring Jazz Sewsanker and Rhian Holmes
“You do realise you’re quite literally making the end of the world about yourself?”
When writer and actress Nina Outhwaite is covered in paint by protestors during her critically acclaimed autobiographical play, she tries to reason with the climate change activist behind it over dinner. When Nina's family inadvertently gets in the middle of this meeting, the evening quickly descends into a volatile and hilarious clash of opinions and the individuals that hold them.
With nobody willing to back down, the snowball grows to a fiery climax in this premiere of a new, richly comic and topical dramatic comedy marking the return of Thomas Carruthers (Are You There Mother? and Victoria Wood Comedy Prize longlisted writer) to Northern Fanfare.
