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More Life is a sci-fi gothic horror, set in a future where pain and death are going rapidly out of date.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

'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
— London Theatre
