Can Lydia find a body for Harry's brain? Can she use her body to get Todd to donate his body? Is there such thing as sex without a body? For answers to these and other pressing questions about neuroscience, metaphysics and the search for the perfect mate see The Afterlife of the Mind, the hilarious and shocking world premiere by William Bivins. The most talked about reading of the 2008 Last Frontier Theatre Conference in Alaska.
Lydia's husband, famous philosopher Harry Pengrove, is dying of a rare illness. Unwilling to accept his fate, Lydia enlists the help of Ulrich Hoffsteadler, a brilliant but illegal neurosurgeon who operates out of the back of a bar and who, medical legend has it, once transplanted a human brain. After a botched transplant, Lydia embarks on a journey pushing the limits of love, the human body and medical science to save Harry's extraordinary mind.
