About this show

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times. An era of passion and love, yet also a period of war and unrest. It is a time when AI can assist in almost everything, and yet a time when moral depravity reaches its highest point. Chickenshed Theatre collaborates with ActLoud Theater Shanghai for the first time on a bold new Tales series. This is not a drill – it's an opportunity to hear from young adults as they share their visions of the kind of planet they wish to live in.
