by Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson
This isn’t a negotiation. It’s hand to hand combat.
11 December 1997.
The Kyoto Conference Centre, 5 a.m.
The nations of the world are in deadlock. Eleven hours have passed since the UN’s landmark climate conference should have ended. Time is running out. And agreement feels a world away.
Their prize: the world’s first legally binding emissions targets. Their obstacle: American oil lobbyist and master strategist, Don Pearlman.
Kyoto is the urgent tale of a moment when, finally, the impossible seemed possible. It opened at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, in June 2024, in a co-production between Good Chance and the RSC, and transferred to @sohoplace, London, in January 2025.
