Life Rights

By Nicholas Meiklejohn. When an old friend turns up with an unusual request it sparks contradictory memories of the past.

By Nicholas Meiklejohn

A play about the reunion between two estranged friends - now in their early forties. One’s been stuck in the small Scottish town where they grew up, having grudgingly taken over his family’s moribund business, while the other found modest and fleeting success as an indie film-maker.

When the film-maker shows up with an unusual request, it sparks contradictory memories of the past.

A play about the fragility of memory, ambition, familial expectations and the frustrations of looming middle age.
