Earthquakes in London is a 2009 play by British playwright Mike Bartlett. The play weaves together multiple narratives set in London, exploring themes of climate change, environmental catastrophe, and societal instability. It follows three sisters—Sarah, Freya, and Jasmine—whose lives intersect against the backdrop of a world on the brink of disaster. As the city faces literal and metaphorical earthquakes, the characters navigate personal conflicts, family dynamics, and the growing awareness of impending environmental collapse. The play blends dark humor, political commentary, and existential questions about the future of humanity.
