Kill Climate Deniers

Kill Climate Deniers is a stage play by David Finnigan and an album of original music by Reuben Ingall. The playscript was awarded the 2017 Griffin Playwrights Award and nominated for Best New Play in the Sydney Theatre Awards. It has since been produced more than 20 times for seasons in cities including Melbourne, London, Los Angeles, Brisbane, Prague, Launceston, Adelaide and Bratislava. The play was first performed at Sydney’s Griffin Theatre in 2018 following political backlash in 2014 from Andrew Bolt and Brendan Smyth about the theme of terrorism within the play that paused production, despite a $19,000 grant the play received from the ACT Government.

Kill Climate Deniers is an album of original music by Reuben Ingall in the style of classic House and Techno from 1988-92 – mixed with samples from David Finnigan’s stage-play of the same name. The lyrics for ‘Bolted’ are by Andrew Bolt writing about Kill Climate Deniers, and from his commenters and fellow bloggers: ‘The Left is the natural home of the modern totalitarian – and of all those who feel entitled by their superior morality to act as savages.’ More info at http://killclimatedeniers.com
