“Man is part of nature: his war against nature is a war against himself.”

Nevergreen tells the astonishing untold story of Rachel Carson: trailblazing scientist, writer of the epoch-making ‘Silent Spring’ and reluctant pioneer of the environmental movement. Overcoming poverty and prejudice, Carson combined scientific knowledge with imaginative power, unfolding the wonder of nature to millions. She risked everything to reveal the truth about the impending poisoning of our world and its creatures – including us.

Following the making of a ‘Nevergreen’ film during lockdown, new, interdisciplinary collective ‘the wonderful’ present Rachel’s life as their debut stage show at CHANGE Festival. ‘Nevergreen’ fuses multimedia invention with poetic power and audacious storytelling. It is urgent theatre, full of wonder, terror, and hope. 

‘Somehow both ethereal and alarming – and entirely original’ ★★★★(The Guardian)

‘Informative, compelling and very relevant ★★★★' (Theatre and Other Things).
