It may sound preposterous to many, yet this play ably explores that plausible proposition through the story of a dying patient, her doctor, daughter and a zealous PhD student who seeks to translate after-death cognitive function into words and phrases captured on a tablet computer, communicating with a physical brain activity earpiece/sensor – all wrapped up in a very personal story of humans trying to cope with, and make sense of, their family lives – regret, secrets and the search for emotional healing and resolution. What happens in the brain after we die? Is there a possibility that aspects of our consciousness (and even self-awareness) continue after death? If so, is it only located in the brain? Scientists such as Rupert Sheldrake have been banned from well known platforms such as TED for suggesting such things may be possible. Scientists recently published researched findings – intriguing, potentially ground breaking, yet currently inclusive, that suggest brain activity continues for days after such activity was thought to pronounce the human being as dead. This is an engaging, interesting, disturbing, provocative piece of theatre. In this four-handed, a piece of new writing from Mulling Over Productions, questions of family resolution at the end of life and the science exploring the afterlife are blended together into a one-hour drama. Can he convince Aurora, a terminal patient, to take part in his science experiment? Should her doctor and daughter let her participate? Will it even work?” “Sam wants to know if there is an afterlife and thinks he can prove it.
