'Lungs' presented by Chimera Productions, ACP
Lungs by Duncan Macmillan is a raw, riveting, and deeply human drama that explores the complexities of modern love, climate anxiety, and the impossible choices we face when trying to build a life in a world that’s ready to burn. We follow a young couple as they grapple with the decision to have a child — a decision that tears through their boundaries on morality, ethics, fear, desire, and hope. With its minimalist style and emotional intensity, Lungs speaks directly to all of us overwhelmed by the uncertainty of our futures, fueled by a cycle of never-ending crisis, told through the intimacy of a couple’s most vulnerable and intimate moments.
