Description

Playwrights Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson met with scores of diplomats and climate scientists who participated in crafting the 1997 United Nations agreement on greenhouse gas emissions known as the Kyoto Protocol. The drama of multilateral negotiations left a powerful impression. "How can we bottle this and put it on a stage?" Murphy remembers thinking. The result? "Kyoto," the play making its US debut at New York City's Lincoln Center. Reporter Jeff Lunden brings us the story.
