Shakespeare's Letter to the Earth (2021) | Shakespeare's Globe

O ruined piece of nature, this great world
Shall so wear out to naught.
- King Lear
Climate change isn't a new crisis. It is historic.
Penned by our very own Artistic Director, Michelle Terry, artists including Stephen Fry, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Helen Schlesinger, Shubham Saraf, Paul Ready, Rosalie Craig, Hadley Fraser, Philip Cumbus, and Tanika Yearwood have joined together in a short film: Shakespeare’s Letter to the Earth, exploring Shakespeare’s contribution to the 400-year-old conversation about the climate.
This November at the next UN climate summit, decisions are being made that will determine the rest of our lives and the lives of generations to come. What can you do to inspire action and change?

Therefore the winds, piping to us in vain,. As in revenge have sucked up from the sea. Contagious fogs.
