A comedy about near death by the nearly dead will be featured in a public-staged reading in early November.
Lex, a sharp-witted rocket scientist, wakes in intensive care after two liver transplants, struggling to make sense of what has happened to them. As their medical team tries to keep them alive, their dead donors, Colm and Daisy, make their presence felt. The play unfolds through Lex’s disorientated perspective, where hospital reality, delirium and the dead share the stage, and humour becomes a way of holding fear at bay.
