CAST*
M:
Man, early 20s-30s. One half of a thoroughly modern and socially conscious young couple, wrestling with the idea of parenthood in a broken world. Somewhat directionless and un-introspective, he relies on W to give him a sense of purpose and value.
W:
Woman, early 20s-30s. One half of a thoroughly modern and socially conscious young couple, wrestling with the idea of parenthood in a broken world. At once overly analytical and overly emotional, she relies on M to give her a sense of balance and proportion.
*no roles have been pre-cast for this show
About LUNGS:
In a time of global anxiety and political unrest, a young couple contemplates having a child. If they overthink it, they'll never do it. But if they rush, it could be a disaster. What will be the first to destruct - the planet or the relationship?
"Smart and stimulating!" - Washington Post
"Duncan Macmillan's distinctive, off-kilter love story is brutally honest, funny, edgy and current. It gives voice to a generation for whom uncertainty is a way of life... bravely written, startlingly structured" - The Guardian
