Grant Statement: We are incredibly grateful to the Edgerton Foundation for this vital funding, which has enabled us to provide writers Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson, Directors Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, Good Chance and the wider creative team with the time and space to realise their artistic vision for the production.
The rigorous rehearsal process facilitated by the Edgerton Foundation New Play Award has been instrumental in bringing to life the rich tapestry of characters at the heart of the Kyoto protocol negotiations and telling the complex story of how international leaders grappled to reach agreement against all the odds.
Kyoto has had a profound impact on all who have seen it so far, and we look forward to sharing it with many more. We are confident that the journey of this exciting new work is just beginning.
