HOW TO BE A CLIMATE HERO, by Audrey Schulman
- Published 2008-01-11 19:58 - (1883 Reads)HOW TO BE A CLIMATE HERO
One afternoon last summer, I was on a commuter train when I heard someone yelling behind me. I didn’t pay attention because I was breaking up a fight between my kids. I figured the noise was from some college students having fun. The third time the person yelled, I turned around.
It was a boy, about six years old. He was standing on his seat, screaming, “My mom’s having a seizure.” The only part of his mom I could see were her legs sticking out into the aisle, convulsing.

The stage-setting for Ibsen’s play is classic austerity, monotone elegance, the ‘epic’ gravitas of impending doom. This is hardly a bland 'feel good' piece of theatre, but instead a profound, demanding, thoughtful and curative tonic, a grand dose of ‘back to the future’ flavoured with ‘shock& awe’...

Family life in the war zone
Imagine the feminine mind, body and psyche under assault; the family as battleground—guilt, resentment, jealous possession, desolation and abandonment, sizzling love-hate arsenal flying all around. In the play, ‘Dating Jesus’ there are no heroes, anti-heroes or antagonists lurking on or off stage. Everyone is merely struggling to cope and survive cheek-by-jowl with one another in this excruciatingly tender, painful, searching and revealing, contemporary true-to-life drama. It’s an ongoing mélange of familial empathy, a volatile camaraderie that, every so often, detonates all over the place like domestic Semtex. In other words, family life as many of us may know it...

As prelude to the drama, entitled Gas, ‘zen-like’ images of ocean waves soon give way to the grueling shocks, blasts and images of a desert war...
