A show about how not to blow up the planet.

We don’t really talk about nuclear weapons much. Even though they accompany us everywhere. Invisible guests in cafés, on the shelves of supermarkets, in line at the cash machine. Guests that could destroy all of that and more in a second.

A Family Business is about diplomats, activists, and a journey to change the world. If these weapons could wipe out all our tomorrows, then why aren’t we all talking about them today?

In partnership with Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg. Supported by Warwick Arts Centre and using public funding by the National Lottery through ArtsCouncil England.

Age Guidance: 14+

Warnings: strong language, flashing lights, haze & themes of nuclear warfare

There will be a post-show discussion with Kate Hudson, the General Secretary of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. This is free to attend and you do not need a ticket.
