West Stockbridge— On June 5th and 6th, The Foundry presents “Treaty: A Play About How To Not Blow Up The Planet,” a Ground UP Productions original piece by Chris Thorpe.
After a chance meeting with a disarmament expert, playwright Chris Thorpe fell into the world of nuclear treaty negotiation, The Treaty On The Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and the ordinary people who are trying to achieve the extraordinary outcome of complete nuclear disarmament. Based on conversations with organizations and individuals involved in those negotiations, including ICAN, the Nobel Prize winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, the play is partly a story about the people on either side of the nuclear debate, and partly a conversation with the audience about how we find the space to talk about disarmament in our own lives.
The performances are on June 5th and 6th at The Foundry, located at 2 Harris Street in West Stockbridge. Tickets and more information can be found online.
