A highly appreciative audience in excess of 40 folk had a wonderfully entertaining evening learning about Gaia Theory. Peter Horton performed songs, told stories and invited audience participation to show feats of human prowess during the 90 minute show which looked at how the dynamic systems of planet Earth work and evolve and where we as a species really fit in . . .

Written and performed by Peter Horton, 'Gaia - the Cabaret' was originally commissioned for James Lovelock's 90th birthday party in 2009. It has since toured the UK seven times with over 30 performances in venues including the Science Museum, London, the Cheltenham Science Festival and performances for numerous Transition Town and environmental groups.
