My Plays

Lethe


Synopsis:

In the near future Lethe ENT. is leading the field in memory augmentation technology. Alice volunteered for their experiment and asked for 3 years to be removed from her memory. Now she doesn't remember what sent her to them, and an implant embedded in her skull protects her from recalling.

But she is free... right?

Lethe explores a cyberpunk inspired future of 'high tech and low life', where the best version of yourself can be commodified and sold back to you.

A journey into the mind and the body, asking do nightmares live in our head… or under our skin?

Reviews:

"LETHE is dark, visceral, claustrophobic. Brilliantly written, grippingly performed and masterfully directed, it’s a nightmarish glimpse of the worst things that can happen when unchecked technological advancement and capitalism merge. " - Not (Just) The West End ★★★★★

"Sci-Fi Theatre at it's utmost best" - Everything Theatre ★★★★

"A sobering look at trauma through the cerebral lens of technology, set within a darkly dystopian future. Enigmatic and mesmerising performances that will keep you connected to the core of this sci-fi horror about mental health. " - Ghouls Magazine
★★★★★

"Sci-fi is a relatively new genre to be used as means of exploring our own lives. Playwright Noga Flaishon has been pushing at the boundaries of what is possible, and this feels like a fully-fledged example of a successful play which uses futuristic themes. " London Pub Theatre Magazine. ★★★★

Memoriam


Synopsis:

In the near future, Memoriam Inc. buys and sells memories, digitizing them for mass-viewership. Customers can rent memories and experience them fully, even feeling the sensations the original memory-holder felt: childbirth, joyful reunions, romantic wedding proposals – almost like watching a short movie but much more intimate and personal. Now Rachel, a buyer for Memoriam, is going after the most important and most personal memory acquisition she has ever sought: the memories of the last holocaust survivor on earth – who happens to be her own grandmother. A powerful, painful, loving story of family and what memories mean, who owns them, and what we owe to future generations.
