Four teenagers enter an art gallery. One of them has a can of baked beans.
The Mona Lisa is also in this art gallery. She's the target of a climate protest.
If we need to break things to save the world, then why is Tabby seeing Leonardo Da Vinci everywhere?
Written in response to Just Stop Oil throwing soup over Van Gogh's Sunflowers, this play explores youth voice in a world run by adults. Join a group of friends as they decide whether to throw baked beans over the Mona Lisa, only to find themselves on a journey to discover the real villains of the story. Is it them? The adults? The activists? Or is it much bigger than that?
Commissioned by Artful Scribe and MAST, this drama explored the conversation around climate protest through the form of a high-octane heist.
