Created by renowned art and social justice group Platform, Three Sisters - a story from the climate future is an exploration of how people carry on in a dislocated world, suffering from the impact of climate change and repeated pandemics. 

Set in rural Scotland in the late 2030s, co-creators James Marriott and Lena Šimić have used the structure and sensibility of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters - a dissection of isolation, longing, and family ties - to explore a thriving community set up against the backdrop of social and ecological collapse.

But after 15 years of weathering storms, floods, and lockdowns, can this community survive itself?
