What do we love about where we live, and what can we do to protect it?

Created with people from Stockton and the wider Tees Valley, World’s on Fire is a new production about community, climate, connection and hope.

Written and directed by Vici Wreford-Sinnott, the production brings professional actors, community performers and learning disabled performers together with a local choir and movement chorus.

It's all part of the Great British Beach Clean by the fantastic Marine Conservation Society.

Joining a beach clean can help stop harmful litter from reaching the ocean and collect vital data needed to bring about positive change for our seas 🦭
