One woman lists real and imagined memories of life on Planet Earth, shifting between personal memories and world events unfolding over a century. What results is a gradual accumulation of the momentous, tragic and joyful moments shaping global consciousness, and the tentacular connections that make a life.

"... frustrating, bemusing, repellant, cute, crushing and irresistible... World Problems is an unambiguous warning and ... powerfully dystopian. Hall takes aim at a generation, and drags them beyond the problems of today or of the self, to face the far greater threats of the future of our own creation." - Daily Review
"World Problems is simple in its presentation though grand in its ideas. It will make you feel calm and grateful, it will inspire you to appreciate every part of you, every good and embarrassing memory, and all the people in your life." - Theatre Press
"A beautifully subdued work... What really makes the work shine are different intonations within the script; in single moments it is elating, and full of humour, the next second it turns upon itself and borrows into a universal sense of outrage... what this work proves is that art still has the ability, dare, the responsibility to continue to uphold pivotal conversations, which through discourse, still bring individuals together. " - Melbourne Critique
"World problems opens up the political consequences of how we view our personal worlds" - Witness Performance
"A solo show about our interconnected world. Inspired by the German pop-historian Oswald Spengler, the feminist theorist Donna Haraway, and the multi-million-billion-trillion lifeforms living and dying together in our biosphere."
