THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER meets ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE in this riotous and revelatory eco-satire
I find it funny that London still has street buskers. Like the band on the Titanic,buskers will play us straight through a mass extinction event.
Hope is trying to come of age during the uncoming of an age. The planet is slowly sliding into an anti-climactic climate apocalypse. Her activist parents have been fired again for calling out those responsible. And, when not casually living through a mass extinction event, she's passed over in favour of her mediocre white classmates.
A decade later, Hope has clawed her way into a career as the uncredited mastermind behind the biggest charity on Earth. That is until she devises a fundraiser disguised as an ayahuasca retreat targeting repentant billionaires. It's a once-in-an-age opportunity that will bring her face-to-face with power - and one that will unmask it for the cheap farce it is.
A riotous parody of power that spins climate fiction on its head as it takes the emotional temperature of our era, BAD VIBES is about the struggle of tending to our hope while the world crumbles into a steaming cesspool of white supremacy and single-use plastic.
