Lungs

In a time of global anxiety, terrorism, erratic weather and political unrest, a young couple want a child but are running out of time

If they over think it, they'll never do it

But if they rush, it could be a disaster

They want to have a child for the right reasons

Except, what exactly are the right reasons?

And what will be the first to destruct the planet or the relationship?

REVIEWS

"Macmillan's play is at once harrowing and blisteringly funny, bleak and redemptive ... It combines hyper-real dialogue with a quirky form that expands and contracts time before our eyes, creating the almost physical sensation of being hurtled towards an uncertain future. The piece's furious pace lives up to its title, leaving audience, and no doubt actors, feeling the need to pause for breath in a world that does not allow it - 5 STARS" ~ What's On Stage

"Duncan Macmillan's distinctive, off-kilter love story is brutally honest, funny, edgy and current" ~ Guardian

"Both uproariously funny and unbearably poignant an engaging and poignant piece" ~ Exeunt Magazine

"It gives voice to a generation for whom uncertainty is a way of life ... bravely written, startlingly structured ~ Lyn Gardner, Guardian
