THE BUSHFIRES OF 2019 are the ignition point for this stirring monologue on climate change. Written by Noëlle Janaszewska for Siren Theatre Co and performed by Jane Phegan, The End of Winter is a minimalist production that cleverly uses lighting, music and sound design to animate both the narrator’s fears and the elements themselves.

In this blend of the scientific and the personal, stories, stats and myths swirl in Janaszewska’s search for cold weather – in a country where winters get ever warmer and ever shorter.
