Lethe

Shortlisted for the Vault 5, Lethe was performed in the King’s Head Theatre in 2022. Lethe was a cyberpunk inspired play exploring the ghosts that live under our skin.

In the near future Lethe ENT. is leading the field in memory augmentation technology. Alice, played by Sarah Cullum (Faith; The RSC), volunteered for their experiment and asked for 3 years to be removed from her memory. Now she doesn’t remember what sent her to them, and an implant embedded in her skull protects her from recalling. But she is free… right?

“Wonderfully dark & enigmatic… Sci-Fi Theatre at its utmost best”
