About Marcus J Freed
Marcus is Alive is a one-man play by Marcus J Freed, performed at Muse over 60 minutes. Based on a true story, it recounts a hit-and-run and near-death experience in LA, two brain surgeries, six failed marriage proposals, a psychic detective and a wayward Rabbi. The show traces Freed's miraculous recovery and his journey back to life, asking the audience to consider why any of us are here at all. It aims to make you laugh, cry and question.
Why see this show?
A true story of survival, recovery and finding meaning — told with warmth and humour. One man's real brush with death becomes a show that asks the biggest questions, without losing its lightness.
