Weather Girl is currently captivating audiences at London’s Soho Theatre until April 5th. This dynamic one-woman show explores the urgent theme of the climate crisis through humor and chaos.
Written by Brian Watkins, the production features Julia McDermott in the role of Stacey, a weather forecaster from Fresno, California. Balancing her reports on local events such as dog shows and testicular tanning, Stacey presents cheerful updates on the persistent droughts and wildfires plaguing her region. However, a turning point arrives when she can no longer maintain her sunny disposition amidst the escalating climate calamities.
Weather Girl serves as a powerful commentary on the dangerous ignorance surrounding climate change, as well as the struggles faced by women in similar roles.
