Helt Texas, a story of climate change, geopolitics and romantic relationships.

The story tackles the central issues of our time, passionately debating climate change and the personal consequences of partisan discourse.

From the writing desk on the Arctic research vessel, the Antigua, to your speakers wherever you are, here it is.

Conceived on an expeditionary artist retreat during the summer solstice in June 2018, by writer Alan Olejniczak, Helt Texas was written in the Arctic, recorded Hong Kong and produced in London - a truly original piece of global collaborative theatre.
