Overpopulation, energy depletion, drought, mass extinction: these and other problems have arrived or are on their way. People die, families die out, and entire civilizations end. Change on an enormous scale is inevitable. The Eco Show examines how the ecology of one family is changed by the ecology of world. The Eco Show premiered to great acclaim at Montreal’s Festival TransAmériques in the spring of 2007. The Eco Show then received a full engagement in Toronto in May, 2008.
 
A near-perfect piece of contemporary theatre.”
