More Life

‘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 *‘A quietly riveting and all-too-human sci-fi drama which excitingly subverts expectation… galvanising and richly satisfying’ * London Theatre *

‘Thought-provoking, surprisingly funny and genuinely moving at times… an ominous vision into a possible future we face’

* All That Dazzles *
