There’s a new Alexander off-Broadway…
LIFELINE IS A SELL-OUT EDINBURGH FRINGE MUSICAL BASED ON A REMARKABLE TRUE STORY AND BRIMMING WITH SCOTTISH TUNES
Lifeline is a new musical which tells the story of Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming’s world-changing discovery of penicillin in 1928. Fleming’s historic narrative is interwoven with Jess’, a present day doctor whose childhood sweetheart, Aaron, is recovering from cancer treatment. But just as Aaron is desperate to resume normality and rekindle the romance, his life hangs in the balance, as he waits to see if Fleming’s century-old miracle cure will still work well enough to save him.
Previously entitled The Mould that Changed the World, the musical is a two-time Edinburgh Festival Fringe sell-out (2018 and 2022) and has toured to London, Glasgow, Atlanta and Washington DC (2022).
Intimate, funny and ambitious, this musical shows the humanity in healthcare and the courage and belief of those fighting to save our families and our futures.
LIFELINE is not a production of Signature Theatre.
