This production is a scripted reading of the show.
ABOUT
One woman lists real and imagined memories of life on Planet Earth, shifting between personal memories and world events unfolding over a century. What results is a gradual accumulation of the tragic and joyful moments shaping global consciousness, and the tentacular connections that make a life.
Developed with the support of Cultureland Residency and Theatre Oostblok in the Netherlands, and Darebin Arts Centre and City of Melbourne in Australia. An early development season of World Problems was held in Amsterdam on 31 August and 1 September 2018.

"World Problems isn't only a show for humans. This is a show for every living thing on this planet."
- My Melbourne Arts
"Innovative and thought-provoking... sensory.. This show fully connects with the audience.... What was I doing at the time of these major world events? Did I notice them as life changing?.... Do I want this (future) for myself or my kids? What can we do? What can I do?"
- Bohemian Rhapsody Club
"World problems opens up the political consequences of how we view our personal worlds"
- Witness Performance
