Elegy

What if every neuron in the human brain could be mapped and decoded? Every act of human behaviour catalogued and wholly understood? <i>Elegy </i>imagines a very-near future in which radical and unprecedented advances in medical science mean that it's possible to augment and extend life.<br><br>Through the beautiful and moving story of three women who've made the choice between love and survival, <i>Elegy </i>explores a world in which the brain is no longer a mystery to us. But at what cost?<br><br>Nick Payne's <i>Elegy</i> premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in April 2016.
