Going Green

by John Petherbridge

GOING GREEN is a projected six part TV situation comedy about trying to live ethically. Climate change has now been generally accepted and most people think greenhouse gases should be controlled. But Thomas’ efforts to adopt to an environ- mentally friendly life-style seldom go to plan. His live-in girlfriend, Annette, who works for an ethical investment company, has justifiably little faith in Thomas’ efforts. And then there’s Charlie, Thomas’ anarchic Hummer-driving tenant, who cares nothing for the environment and doesn’t like paying his rent. Tonight’s reading comprises Episode 1 THE PATIO (TERRACE) and, after the interval, Episode 2 CANCEL THE HOLIDAYS.
