- Synopsis
“It’s human nature. To fix yourself you’re willing to change what it is to be human and bollocks to the after effects.”
Would you like to know your genetic make-up? Can you ever hope to know yourself and your destiny without that knowledge? What do you do when your very idea of what it means to be human is threatened? And how do you feel about the Government knowing more about you than you do yourself?
In a London of the not-too-distant future where genetic cures are possible but outlawed, Cohen is cursed with an inherited disease and is striving for a solution. Fighting through the courts to bypass the Government and let scientists make the next step in evolution, he also has to contend with his whimsical sister, Dorcet, who is more interested in Cybernetic Companionship and GM pigs, Talulah, who believes God will heal her, and the arrival of his friend J – who brings with him a history and a woman with the ability to redefine all of their destinies.
From exciting newcomer Rachel Welch, this energetic and entertaining play should not be missed

- Background
Jane Lesley and Emily Agnew met working together on a production of Laura Wade’s play, “Other Hands” at the Cockpit Theatre, London in July 2007. Through a shared passion for new writing and a desire to develop new talent, MOKITA PRODUCTIONS was formed.
MOKITA PRODUCTIONS was established to promote work of an exciting, raw, passionate and original nature that seeks to emotionally and intellectually challenge both its collaborators and its audience. We are a company specialising in new writing and developing work with new and emerging writers – we aim to give talent a voice. This talent is not restricted to writing talent, we are also firmly committed to encouraging new and emerging practitioners in all fields, be it in directing, producing, writing, design, technical theatre, or acting. We are looking to provide opportunities for people to gain experience in the theatre environment and develop skills and vision within a challenging but supportive community.
