England-2011-greenland
Greenland at the National Theatre, Friday 11 February 2011
Travel
We'll meet at the National Theatre at 19:00 on Friday, just outside the doors on the North side of the building near the South bank of the Thames.
Preparation
Read a bit about the play Greenland. The National Theatre's website has background information about it and the playwrights who wrote it. The play was commissioned by the National and follows in a long line of works dating back to the early 1980s that seek to address the big questions/problems facing society as a result of technology and the changes it brings.
Plan
After the play there will be opportunity for us to participate in a discussion about the play:
After each performance of Greenland , there will be the chance to discuss and debate the complex issues raised in the play by sitting at the ‘Talkaoke’ table. Talkaoke, presented by ‘The People Speak’, is a unique interactive discussion format for sharing views, engaging with a variety of different perspectives and debating with other members of the audience.

Science, Technology and Society
