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More Life is a sci-fi gothic horror, set in a future where pain and death are going rapidly out of date.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

REVIEWS:

"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."

The 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."
