From the writer of Kingdom (Or, the Anthropocene), a climate-crisis play performed as part of our 2019 New Plays in Rep season, The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School is excited to produce Skot Wilsons new play, 62 Sperm Whales, directed by Evan Lordan.'A hole in the Universe. Dead Whales. And an experienced drug dealer.'Maries morning routine is going to the beach and smoking a pack of cigarettes. But today is different. 62 Sperm Whales have beached and thats not all.As the worlds press and biologists from the Natural History Museum descend upon her small town, the arrival of strangers dredges old conversations and histories to the surface.One arrival in particular turns Maries world inside out. And shes running out of cigarettes.The production was streamed live with actors and technical crews in isolation from each other in various parts of the country.
