About no one is coming to save us
Scottish playwright Lewis Hetherington and Fringe First winning Pepperdine Scotland are teaming up to present a world-premiere drama - no one is coming to save us - at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe
Maddy is worried that no one is having fun at her party. Her sister Lily is worried that the world is falling apart. As this group of friends gather on a mountaintop, watching the sunset, a wildfire sparks in the forest below. They drink beer and talk nonsense while the flames race toward them.
From award winners Pepperdine Scotland and playwright Lewis Hetherington, this world premiere is about young people finding fragile hope in the face of an overwhelming environmental threat, carrying the flickering flame of belief that things might yet be alright.
