Pope Francis was a powerful voice for displaced people, the planet and peace. In 2021, he welcomed Little Amal to Vatican City with open arms. His powerful voice and presence will be deeply missed. May his legacy continue to inspire a more just and caring world 🧡 #PopeFrancis #RefugeesWelcome

If you work in climate, politics, or just want to understand what global agreements really take, go see Kyoto It’s fierce, funny, and painfully relevant. The kind of storytelling we need more of. Playing Soho Place Theatre, London until 3 May 🎭 #ClimateStorytelling #KyotoPlay #ClimateAction #COP3

I saw Kyoto last night at Soho Place. It is staggering and terrifying. I still feel pretty shaken up. One of the most eye-opening pieces of theatre I've seen in years. Staged simply, performed impeccably. If you can, go and see it. @the-rsc.bsky.social

While in London for energy discussions, I caught the fantastic Kyoto play @sohoplace particularly good for energy, climate multilateral nerds like me, but think it would be funny and thoughtprovoking for most.

This is a great play. In ’97 I was BBC Environment Correspondent & was right beside Japanese PM Hashimoto as he welcomed Al Gore with this: “It would be going much better if not for you”. He didn't know we were filming. Gore’s grin went rictus. All on camera. seatplan.com/london/kyoto...

💡 Spotlight | This week, Carbon Brief speaks to the writers of Kyoto, a new London play dramatising the signing of the first global agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at COP3.

If you’d told me that an ensemble play about <checks notes> the climate change talks in the 90s would make me laugh, cry + eventually root for John Prescott, I’d have laughed in derision. Yet here we are. Kyoto at @sohoplace. Totally engrossing, funny, cynical, slick, + so cleverly staged. Bravo.

Just came out of seeing Kyoto at Soho Place theatre. Really fantastic. If you don’t think a play about climate negotiations at the UN can have you on the edge of your seat, go see it. Go see it to be reminded we have to push & break ourselves to fix our relationships to each other & the planet.

We're excited to be watching this next week from our friends @royalcourt.bsky.social! #AKnockOnTheRoof is a one woman play that follows Mariam, as she navigates living in Gaza with her son & mother. On until 8th March, get your tickets: royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/a-k...

Don't miss #Kyoto at Soho Place in London. I was lucky enough to see this brilliant play last night thanks to @scope3.bsky.social 🙏🏽 It's about the climate negotations of COP3, but its about much more - its a meditation on the nature of agreement sohoplace.org/shows/kyoto

I finally saw the theatre play ‘Kyoto’ tonight in London. I didn’t think a play about the 1997 Kyoto Protocol climate negotiations would make for good, non-didactic drama but they pulled it off! It was moving. (play COP badges for audience members, the stage design) More: sohoplace.org/shows/kyoto

Just been to watch the extraordinary Kyoto @Sohoplace . #climatechange Wonderful staging and such an important play about what we’re doing to this planet great to see @raadrawi.bsky.social on stage!

"An electric, hilarious and roller-coaster portrayal of the first-ever climate change agreement negotiations, Kyoto is a play that grabs you by the lapels and keeps shaking you." 🎭 @barrygardiner.bsky.social reviews 'Kyoto' | #sohoplace #KyotoPlay @goodchancetheatre.bsky.social bit.ly/40yBlqD

Just out of seeing Kyoto at Soho Place, had no expectations going in but left thinking it’s one of the best things I have seen in years. Definitely worth going to see.

Amazing discussion this morning on #climateaction, truth & (dis)agreement, from UN climate treaties, to Shetland wind farms. 🌍 Framed around the brilliant West End play Kyoto @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @adamrutherford.bsky.social @bbcradio4.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Just seen Kyoto. Yesterday UK negotiations stalled for @zero-hour.bsky.social. But this brilliant play from RSC & @goodchancetheatre.bsky.social reminds us that even thro exhaustion, political negotiation can succeed against obstructionists. See it if you can & take heart. sohoplace.org/shows/kyoto

Do not miss RSC’s incredible (and slightly immersive) “Kyoto” at @sohoplace Best thing I’ve seen at the theatre for ages and probably the best for 2025. Don’t say I didn’t tell you. #kyoto #sohoplace

Londoners love a coincidence. Hour or so earlier, President #DonaldTrump states he'll remove America from Paris Climate Agreement. So #RoyalShakespearesCompany's play #Kyoto at #SohoPlace theatre last night more needed than ever. Globe can reach agreement! #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

🌍🔥 As Kyoto premiered in London, 5,500 miles away in Los Angeles, the planet is literally on fire. This gripping new play dives into the origins of the climate crisis, blending history, politics, and Shakespearean drama into a hauntingly prescient warning. Why is Kyoto a must-see?

I highly recommend 'Kyoto' the play opening in London in Jan 25. A Good Chance Theatre production with the RSC. Transfer from Stratford. Let's learn from the past! www.rsc.org.uk/kyoto/about-...

'Mandatory viewing for a society on the brink of collapse and a planet that's burning down on livestream' it's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me for Kyoto at @sohoplace

After an acclaimed run last year, The RSC and Good Chance bring 'Kyoto' to @sohoplace Brilliantly written with some inspired creative choices and a sensational cast, it is the first unmissable play of the year. Here's my ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.allthatdazzles.co.uk/post/review-...

For a play about policy, politics, and protocols, Kyoto is remarkably entertaining. The fast-paced, cinematic script weaves a globe-trotting thriller of backroom deals and power plays. This would make for brilliant screen material one day.
