What would two seven-year-olds do to save the planet? That’s the question at the heart of a bold new play from the Traverse theatre in Edinburgh.

But when it is discovered by one of their mothers, the girls decide to take drastic action against climate change and their peaceful home life spirals out of control… The Cultural Frontline presents the radio premiere of the play, Kit Kat, by Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir recorded on location at the Edinburgh Festival.
