A woman wakes up in 2075, in a body that is not her own.
Fifty years ago, Bridget died in a car accident. Now, thanks to a technological breakthrough, she is back: her mind, her consciousness, in a synthetic body. Metal. Wires. But she's still Bridget, isn't she? She must be.
More Life is a sci-fi gothic horror, set in a future where pain and death are going rapidly out of date. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2025, in a production made in association with Kandinsky Theatre Company.
'Imagine yourself as a file on a computer: that's you. That's what you are now.'
'Thrilling... a smartly composed exploration of greed, loss and the loneliness of eternity, More Life is an incredibly human play about technology... a play that stabs at the heart'
Guardian'Moving and profound'
Time Out'A creepy, dystopian thriller that morphs and shimmers before your eyes... playfully poses profound existential questions... compelling, with a vein of grotesque humour lubricating the flow of heavyweight ideas... a striking, open-ended contemplation of the kind of world we may already be in the process of creating'
The Stage'A gripping futuristic drama about what it means to be human... a welcome addition to the canon of science fiction on stage... genuinely triumphant'
Everything Theatre'Masterful... a sensational piece of sci-fi theatre'
A Youngish Perspective'Thought-provoking, surprisingly funny and genuinely moving at times... an ominous vision into a possible future we face'
