Pulmons
In this piece by British playwright Duncan Macmillan – which won the CBS Outstanding Drama Award and Best New Play at the Off West End Awards – Carlota Olcina and Pau Roca float the idea of having a child. To bring a new person into the world or not…that is the question.
Lungs is the story of a conversation. One day, while shopping for furniture, a couple unexpectedly find themselves debating if they should start trying to have kids. Am I a good person? Will I be a good parent? What sort of world will our children inherit? Is it wise or necessary to bring another person into the world? The smarter you are, the harder those questions are to answer and the more ridiculous you seem for trying to wrestle with them. I wrote this piece as a challenge for actors, and also as a gift.
