Lifelong is a new play by Fringe First winners Lynda Radley and Pepperdine Scotland, performed at Studio Two as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set in a facility where powerful people have harnessed science to realise the impossible, the story follows Kit, who has a job to do and people to take care of. AI dictates a daily regimen for wellbeing for the residents, but when an outsider disrupts their routine, questions arise about what it truly costs to live a long, protected life. A thought-provoking drama exploring a future where only a select few live far longer than the many.
Why see this show?
A timely new play from Fringe First winners that asks hard questions about longevity, power and the true cost of living. Pepperdine Scotland deliver a taut, intelligent drama that stays with you long after the lights come up.
