The Knowing
by Imogen Wilde
directed by Oliver Stephens
presented by Bones in Motion
Millie is not ok. After a very public mess up, this eco-activist is certain she’s about to be cancelled. But then she learns of a retreat in the Scottish Highlands – a self-sustaining commune run by like-minded people. The best thing about it? It’s free. All you have to do is hand in your phone on arrival and muck in. The timing is perfect and Millie makes the decision to jump straight in.
At this remote property, Millie finds peace in nature and a sense of community. She grows close to her fellow misfit residents, bonding over their desire to seek solace from eco-anxiety (and party) but something just doesn’t feel right…
If you could live in safety and never have to think about the climate crisis again, would you do it? Could you leave behind those you love, and not ask any questions? The Knowing is an eco-thriller inspired by real events. It’s about collective responsibility, climate justice and the toll of ‘knowing’ what the science is telling us, while governments fail to act.
Bones in Motion Theatre present the debut play of Imogen Wilde, directed by Oliver Stephens (Fake News, The Bridge Theatre). The cast includes Jilly Bond, (The National, The Archers) Andre Bullock, (Arcola Theatre, Casualty) and Imogen Wilde (Doctors, New Vic Theatre).
