Do we? Can we? Should we? In a world rife with political unrest and global warming, a young urban couple wrestles with the monumental decision of whether to bring a child into existence.
LUNGS is a dazzling, fast-paced rollercoaster through the shared lifetime of two flawed but deeply human individuals, capturing the urgency, humour, and heartbreak of a generation for whom uncertainty and chaos define everyday life.
Presented by The Quickening Theatre Company, this West End hit is fiercely funny, disarmingly honest, and heartbreakingly poignant.
Jazzara Jaslyn and Sanda Shandu deliver powerhouse performances under the direction of Bianca Amato, with design by Patrick Curtis.
The play challenges and charms with its raw exploration of love, responsibility, and the bittersweet complexity of modern parenthood.
