The story of a young climate activist on the run who finds herself face-to-face with a beached whale. Her dad works in the oil industry and her mum just wants her to have a childhood free of worry, but how can she go about ‘business as usual’ when there’s a climate emergency?
In this darkly comic and provocative show with live music, the audience becomes the whale itself. A powerful reminder of smallness confronting hugeness.
Written for a generation facing unprecedented challenges, Maya and the Whale asks: What if keeping 'business as usual' makes us complicit? And how far are young people willing to go to demand change?
A heartfelt adventure for ages 10–100.
What audiences are saying…
”… the right mix of facts and impact.”
“Incredible performance.”
An Independent Arts Projects’ (IAP) production by Hazel Darwin-Clements.

"It was a really good show. Some parts were sad and some parts were fun and some bits ok. I liked it I give it 4 out of 5, I liked how they talk about climate change and the music was lovely too, yeah it really enjoyed it. I think loads of people would enjoy it too.
There was a question session at the end and she told us about different stuff we can do to help the planet and help animals."
