Starring David Suzuki and Tara Cullis
A Why Not Theatre production presented by Factory Theatre
“What’s love got to do with it?” A lot, according to David Suzuki.
After a lifetime devoted to climate activism, internationally-renowned environmentalists David Suzuki and Tara Cullis take to the stage in an intimate and inspiring theatre experience. A rare behind-the-scenes look at a life shaped by deep love, commitment, and the courage to act; they reflect on their extraordinary 50-year partnership in life and work.
Honest, warm, and thought-provoking, David and Tara share captivating stories, powerful insights, and heartfelt moments of humour as they celebrate their love for each other, their love of the planet, and love’s capacity to inspire action. What You Won’t Do For Love is a personal and poetic performance, and a powerful reminder that change begins with connection.
“We’d love to see you there!”
– Tara and David
