Abstract

This chapter discusses how three UK theatre organisations - The Royal National Theatre (London), Tinderbox Theatre Company (Belfast, Northern Ireland) and Theatre Alibi (Exeter, Devon) - adopted the first volume of The Theatre Green Book to begin embedding decarbonisation and circular economy principles in their live production work as they emerged from the “lockdown” restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic.
