Synopsis
Loosely based on THE TEMPEST by William Shakespeare, A Perfect Time To Panic is a musical tale of an environmentalist struggling to be heard, who is banished and eventually sentenced to be executed for being an inconvenience. He escapes with his family and settles on an island, where they prepare for the impending apocalypse, while reducing their carbon footprint. But when it becomes impossible for the world to ignore the climate crisis, he becomes the man of the hour when he least wants to, and the lifestyle and paradise he has created comes under threat.
