More Life

A smartly composed exploration of greed, loss and the loneliness of eternity, More Life is an incredibly human play about technology. --Guardian

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More Life is a sci-fi gothic horror, set in a future where pain and death are going rapidly out of date.
