THE CLIMBERS / THEATRE BY THE LAKE /2022
About
Three people climb the highest mountain in the world, but only two return. Yasmin and Tshering’s stories don’t add up and Charlie’s body can’t be found. The play charts the attempt to unearth the truth from the remnants of a half-remembered nightmare.
Who do mountains belong to? Why do people climb them? The Climbers explores the legacy of European Imperialism and the ghosts it left behind.
The Climbers premiered at Theatre by the Lake in Summer 2022, following its initial postponement from 2020 due to the pandemic.
