About the Play

The Pollution Revolution is the story of a young boy, let’s call him The Kid, who is blissfully unaware of how much energy and water he wastes everyday. He comes home from his day at school and switches on all the lights and taps and stuff and chucks his rubbish anywhere and everywhere without thinking. Joule, who is Energy personified, has had enough and decides to intervene. He pops out of the plug to tell the Kid that he is an Energy Addict and that certain things have got to change round here. The Kid, naturally, could do with some convincing…

Here follows a whirlwind inter-planetary tour on a super sonic space time travel machine (actually a bicycle with a ‘hula hoop stuck on it’s head’ that powers it’s own lights and sound) that can take them anywhere in time and space that they need to go. The Kid returns home a changed boy and vows to amend his wasteful ways. He makes Joule take him to a ‘Better Future’ where we don’t burn so much coal and oil and cut down so many trees. Together they think of ways to Reduce Reuse Recycle and live more sustainably.
