‘Everything comes at us at a thousand miles an hour now. And so, Black Summer comes through, for example, but no one has time to process it, because then we’re dealing with COVID. And no one has time to process that because then we’re dealing with the war in Ukraine – and on and on and on,’ explains playwright Campion Decent.
Unprecedented, Decent’s latest play, is a forensic examination of the Black Summer bushfires and their aftermath – a reckoning of the inquiries that followed and of successive governments’ shared failure to take decisive action on the critical issue of climate change.
