Lifeline
Southwark Playhouse Elephant, SE11 4FL , [Venue Details]Behind every extraordinary feat are ordinary people. This is their story.
It’s 1950 and Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming is at the height of his fame. His discovery of penicillin, the world’s first antibiotic, is being hailed as a miracle cure that will change medicine forever.
But his heart is torn as he falls in love with Greek resistance fighter and scientist Amalia Voureka, who must return home without him.
Fast forward to present-day Edinburgh. Junior doctor Jess faces the unthinkable when her estranged childhood sweetheart is rushed to her hospital. As old feelings resurface and old cures are put to the test, critical decisions must be made.
Starring a chorus of real-life nurses, doctors, vets, dentists and scientists alongside a professional cast, these remarkable – and true – stories celebrate the everyday people who make the extraordinary happen.
Expect heart, humour and toe-tapping Scottish tunes as Lifeline makes its highly anticipated London premiere: fresh from a debut run off-Broadway, and after making history as the first musical to ever perform at the United Nations.
