“It’s human nature. To fix yourself you’re willing to change what it is to be human and bollocks to the after effects.”
Would you like to know your genetic make-up? Can you ever hope to know yourself and your destiny without that knowledge? What do you do when your very idea of what it means to be human is threatened? And how do you feel about the Government knowing more about you than you do yourself?
In a London of the not-too-distant future where genetic cures are possible but outlawed, Cohen is cursed with an inherited disease and is striving for a solution. Fighting through the courts to bypass the Government and let scientists make the next step in evolution, he also has to contend with his whimsical sister, Dorcet, who is more interested in Cybernetic Companionship and GM pigs, Talulah, who believes God will heal her, and the arrival of his friend J – who brings with him a history and a woman with the ability to redefine all of their destinies.
From exciting newcomer Rachel Welch, this energetic and entertaining play should not be missed.
