Laura died for Love - Twice
It was first performed at the Manchester 24:7 Festival in 2011 directed by Elisa Amesbury.
Laura is woken from an eight hundred year hyper-sleep because she has run out of money. It is a hundred years before her partner will return from surveying new planets. How can she reach him? She has no money to be returned to hyper-sleep, and she is alone in an unfamiliar time. All she has are the stories of the past, until she is offered a strange and desperate way of reaching the future. Is she brave enough to accept?

"What a start to the 24:7 Festival! Future Shock is a sort of Space age 1984. Writer Richard Stockwell's vivid imagination depicts an emotionally arid sci-fi world...cleverly he keeps us involved by unravellingthe story bit by bit."
Manchester Evening News
"...an intelligent and sensitive examination of identity, anchored in a desperately touching love story played out across time and space."
Cultural Shenanigans
"A very well written three hander."
