5 – 23 November

You were brought into this world for a purpose. 
And your futures — all of them — have been decided.

Kazuo Ishiguro’s international best-selling novel arrives on stage in this world premiere of Suzanne Heathcote’s gripping new adaptation.

What if you discovered your whole reason for being was not about your life but about making someone else’s possible? Your dreams, your desires, your love for another, all of them irrelevant in a world that values only what you give, without question or condition, to someone you’ve never met and will never know. 

Memory and reality collide in this stunning new staging from Suzanne Heathcote (Killing Eve, The Crowded Room) that challenges us to think about what it means to be human. What it means to have hope and heart — to love and to lose.
