LIFE

LIFE

17 May 2025

A captivating new work, directed by Ben Harrison (The Tailor of Inverness, Decky Does a Bronco, and Co-Director of Grid Iron)

LIFE is an exciting new work from Maria MacDonell (Miss Lindsay’s Secret) performed with Leo MacNeill (Them is Brothers), which garnered 4 & 5 star review during it's Edinburgh Festival run last year.

Estelle models for The Artist. Despite decades of experience, she has never sat for a session like this and with such an outcome, both unexpected, yet strangely inevitable.

LIFE is set in a drawing class. There is a gentle invitation for audience to draw or doodle during the show, or simply watch the story emerge. Drawing materials are provided.

Four on-stage tickets are available seated at easels.

The perfromance does not contain any nudity. 

Please note: This event will have a British Sign Language interpreter who will be positioned downstage left, so any BSL users wanting to book a seat onstage at an easel should ask to be seated at the downstage right easel. 

‘Beautifully written and invites curiosity’ * * * * * North West End UK
