First presented at the Summerworks Festival 2009, Greenland won the Top two Festival Jury Prizes, NOW Magazine Audience Choice Award and SummerWorks Outstanding Production Award
Receding ice levels off the coast of Greenland have revealed that an area thought to be part of the mainland is actually a separate island. This discovery mirrors a growing rift between the island’s discoverer and his increasingly distant family, set adrift after a catastrophic loss.
This project is part of Why Not’s MAKE stream of activities. MAKE projects are created and produced by us, often touring across the country and the world.

“Nicolas Billon’s trio of monologues, thematically dealing with discovery and loss, blend a lesson in glaciology and the problems facing a family who try but don’t know how to stay together. Written with wonderful detail, the script gets a strong, nuanced production."
“Billon has given his actors a wonderful script. The characters reveal their stories through three separate monologues, and each characters’ voice is thoroughly distinct."
