What truth lies in a spot of blood? Two plays, two procedures, two patients questioning what difference their choices make when medical science has the power to erase the sins of the past and shield us against the dangers ahead. Game Theory is a new double-bill exploring the emotions and ethics surrounding the controversial medical practices of hymenoplasty and genomic sequencing. Membrane - When the woman he first loved comes to him seeking a hymen reconstruction ahead of her wedding to another man, a successful cosmetic surgeon puts his career and his happiness on the line in this impassioned debate on the value of virginity across gender and cultural divides. Mutiny - Charlie and Emma have just welcomed their son into the world, and must immediately grapple with whether or not to have their newborn's genome sequenced. In a world where technology has blurred the lines between what is public and private, a faultline quickly emerges between two people with very different conceptions of what it means to love and care for another.| 31 Mar 15 to 18 Apr 15 | The Seven Dials Playhouse Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
