AUTHOR EVENT | Cassandra Newbould & Jill Tew | CLIMATE OF CHAOS An exhilarating dystopian YA recallingThe Last of UsandDivergent—Climate of Chaosis a hard-hitting survival story featuring a disabled protagonist that explores the chilling effects of climate change and medical debt. In dystopic Seattle, storms have devastated Earth’s population, a new virus is spreading, and the privileged live inside domes controlled by Aegis Corp. Healthcare is earned by hours accrued working in Aegis’s pharmaceutical factories. If you run short on hours, you’re sent to Harvest House for debt collection—a place from which no one returns. After a storm killed seventeen-year old Fox LaRosa’s parents and left her disabled, Fox and her younger sister, Rabbit, join their fugitive aunt’s mercenary group Still Alive. Their mission is to restore the imbalance of medical access for post-storm survivors. But when a med supply heist goes south, Rabbit is taken captive, and Still Alive refuses to rescue her. Fox must choose between duty and family, and leaves home to infiltrate Aegis’s interior domes where Rabbit is being held hostage. The more Fox learns about life in the domes, though, the more she realizes Still Alive isn’t as altruistic as they claim. In a world where everyone is out for themselves, Fox must rely on those she trusts least in order to reunite with her sister and expose those in power for who they really are. The Hunger Games for the next generation, this read stars a disabled protagonist and explores the devastating potential of climate change left unchecked and the all-too-real consequences of outrageously expensive health insurance affecting millions today.

Part of our 2025 programme of Edinburgh Fringe warm ups. This June/July we have twenty different tasters of Edinburgh shows from some of the best acts on the Scottish comedy scene and beyond. All shows capped at £5 representing great value. Daniel Downie: is Scottish? Comedian Daniel Downie is Scottish, and a historian in Scottish History, but what does it mean to be ‘Scottish?’ This is a show about our perceptions of ‘Scottishness’ and if they are genuine or invented. Is Glasgow the ‘hardest’ city in Scotland? Is Edinburgh really ‘England with tartan?’ Are the Highlands and islands an idyllic paradise? Does anyone actually speak Gaelic? How many people can actually dance a Dashing White Sergeant? Are we romantic Jacobites or reverent Covenanters? Picts or Scots? Urban or rural? Highland or Lowland? This is a show about Scots’ perceptions of themselves and what unites and divides us. ‘In the curriculum of your Fringe visit, Daniel should be compulsory’– The Scotsman ‘a keenly and sharply observed hour that will leave you laughing with and loving Scotland in equal measure’ – The Recs ‘not just a show, an experience that leaves you both entertained and enlightened’ – One4Review ‘f*cking brilliant’ – Kate Copstick Our Instagram - Our Facebook - Google Reviews The room as you can see is intimate, so we always recommend advance booking here.
