The Quickening Theatre Company presents Duncan Macmillan's award-winning play LUNGS, starring Jazzara Jaslyn and Sanda Shandu.
This contemporary drama follows a young urban couple debating whether to have children in an era of climate change and political instability. Macmillan's script premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London and has since been performed internationally. The play examines modern anxieties about bringing new life into an uncertain world, exploring themes of responsibility, hope, and environmental consciousness through intimate dialogue.
The production features a two-person cast navigating the emotional landscape of a relationship under pressure. Director Bianca Amato guides the performers through Macmillan's rapid-fire dialogue and shifting time frames in the couple's shared future. The Quickening Theatre Company previously presented this production at Theatre on the Bay in Cape Town to critical acclaim.
