‘Ghoorni’ is a play about two young people piecing together their family history. They discover how their grandfather arrived in the UK from Bangladesh in the 1970s. He had lost everything in a devastating cyclone that also played a big role in the country’s history. The play highlights the climate injustice between Bangladesh and the UK. Mr. Ali had left a country with little climate impact to work in a UK industry with high climate impact. It seems ironic that this impact is likely to damage his own home country. The play focuses on the somber issue of the climate crisis and its terrible effects on health and livelihoods across the globe. It also demonstrates the concern over these issues felt by the younger generation. Many are determined to bring about positive change. From this, springs HOPE for the future.
