Written and newly adapted by Liam Borrett. 

Alice and Michael met six years ago. Three years later their daughter Lily was born. Now, in a Yorkshire meadow, just past midnight, they're having an argument. Because Alice is cold, she's tired, and Michael won't stop telling her that she died twelve hours ago. 

This is Living was first performed in a critically acclaimed and award winning production at the Bedlam Theatre, Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2014. It received it's West End premiere at Trafalgar Studios in May 2016 and was part of the Guardian 2016 audience highlights. 

Liam Borrett provides a brand-new revised text for 2025. 

Presented by The Open Space Theatre. 

With Kaine Zajaz - The Witcher (Netflix), Our Girl (BBC) and Raised by Wolves (C4) and Enva Lewis - How to Have Sex (Film4/BFI) and My Fault (Amazon) in her stage debut. 

Directed by Sam Baker Jones.
