AlbakiReads Editorial

A theatrical anthology of possible futures

Edited by Chantal Bilodeau, this collection brings together fifty playwrights from around the world to imagine futures shaped by responses to the climate crisis. Its shared outlook draws on solarpunk, community, ecological renewal, and ideas including decolonization and life beyond capitalism. The plays approach those possibilities through a range of emotional registers, with the description naming humor, poetry, hope, grief, and pain. Together, they treat imagining the future as a way to consider what a more just and regenerative world might involve.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Those interested in plays engaging with the climate crisis and possible futures
  • Readers exploring solarpunk, ecological renewal, and community-centered visions
  • Theater readers curious about an international collection of playwrights

Book overview

The climate crisis demands an imaginative leap: We will create a just and regenerative world only if we dare to conjure it and use our vision to guide us through the difficulties. So, let's all be solarpunks and dream up radical futures where nature and community thrive. Let's reject the apocalypse and embrace counterculture, post-capitalism, and decolonization. All Good Things Must Begin features fifty playwrights from around the world who take up this existential challenge. They share their vision of what the future may hold with humor, poetry, playfulness, hope, courage, but also sometimes grief and pain.
