HOT AIR FEATURE ON BBC

Hot
Air is an environmental comedy, set during an outdoor
party on the moor. The party quickly overruns polite conversation
and a heated debate breaks out about the origins of global warming,
its likely impact on the local community and the rights and wrongs
of various courses of action designed to mitigate it. Written
by Mark Beeson, this production picks up on MED Theatre's tradition
of drama that debates rural issues, notably The Swallows
(1987) on lack of affordable housing which transferred to Radio
4, and The Bees (1992) which looked at rural employment
in conflict with landscape conservation.
Instead
of simply witnessing this debate, Hot Air invites audience
members to join in. The play will be followed by an interactive
period of discussion with the characters, led by a facilitator.
