Fracked!

by Alistair Beaton

Professor Elizabeth Blackwood had hoped for a quiet retirement with her husband, Jack... but that was until Deerland Energy had earmarked their pretty village of Fenstock as a place to explore for shale gas. Shes now on a mission to stop them, by whatever legitimate means are necessary.

But Deerland Energy arent fazed by Elizabeth: shes just another mad old biddy. Besides, theyve hired smooth-talking PR guru Joe Boxberg to show the locals how fracking will bring them prosperity.

But how far will Elizabeth and a ragged band of protestors go to keep fracking out of Fenstock? Can they even succeed when the Chair of the Planning Committee seems open to lucrative offers?

This razor-sharp black comedy takes a timely look at the conflicted core of planetary energy and earthly power. Fracked! received its world premiere at the Chichesters Minerva Theatre in July 2016.
