Shakespeare on climate change

6 June 2005
At the start of the debate, openDemocracy asked Bill McKibben to write on art, imagination and climate change. In his piece, co-published with our partner Grist.org, McKibben asked asked: "Where are the books? The poems? The plays?"

openDemocracy wondered what a well known poet and playwright would have to say about climate change. William Shakespeare is dead, so we turned to Mark Rylance, artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe, for some insight.
