Review of 'Atlantis': A Welsh Drama Addressing Climate Crisis Themes

14 Haziran 2026The Guardian

The play 'Atlantis,' inspired by the plight of Fairbourne, a Welsh village facing abandonment due to climate change, explores the personal and communal impacts of environmental crises. Set between 2011 and 2039, it follows the lives of Bryn and Gwen as they navigate the challenges posed by changing weather patterns…
While the production touches on significant themes of environmental consciousness and activism, it struggles with pacing and depth in its narrative.
The backdrop of 'Atlantis' is rooted in real events, as Fairbourne's residents face the reality of becoming climate refugees. This serves as a poignant reminder of the broader implications of climate change on communities worldwide.
The play's attempt to address the pressing issue of climate change through a domestic lens is commendable, yet it ultimately falls short of fully realizing its potential. The characters, though well-acted, often engage in contrived exchanges that detract from the gravity of their situation.
