LUNGS

About the show

"I could fly to New York and back every day for seven years and still not leave a carbon footprint as big as if I have a child." Written by acclaimed British playwright Duncan Macmillan, LUNGS is a smart, funny, and devastatingly honest portrait of a relationship. In an era of global anxiety, political unrest, and environmental collapse, a young couple contemplates one of life’s biggest questions: Should we have a baby? The play follows them through the decades as they navigate the ethical dilemmas of bringing a child into a dying world. Performed on a bare stage with no sets, costumes, or lighting changes, the production relies entirely on the raw chemistry and rapid-fire dialogue of the two actors. It is a breathtakingly intimate look at love, responsibility, and the "carbon footprint" of our hearts.
