History repeats itself, but so does nature. What happens when humans mirror the survival mechanism of one of the oldest organisms in the world? Follow the steps of bacterial infection told in parallel with a manipulatory relationship. See how this relationship effects friendships and how our friends are our immune system in life. And maybe learn a thing or two about microbiology on the way.

About the show

Queen Mary Theatre Company present Infection Eradicated at Theatre 2, a new writing drama that tells the story of a bacterial infection in parallel with a manipulative relationship. The piece explores how a relationship affects friendships and positions friends as the immune system in life. Audiences may also pick up some microbiology along the way. Running 45 minutes, priced at £9.50, and suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

A student theatre company using microbiology as a lens for a story about manipulation and friendship. The dual narrative — bacteria and people — gives the piece an unusual structural logic.
