More Life
By Lauren Mooney & James Yeatman
Synopsis
‘Imagine yourself as a file on a computer:
That’s you. That’s what you are now.’
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.
This sci-fi gothic horror, by Lauren Mooney and James Yeatman, is set in a future where pain and death are going rapidly out of date. More Life is a thrilling exploration of what it means to be human.
They say the first person to live forever has already been born. This is the world they are making for us.
A Royal Court commission, previously developed with support from Cockayne – Grants for the Arts, Arts Council England, the National Theatre’s Generate programme and New Diorama Theatre.
