The Phlebotomist
Hampstead Theatre · 12 APR - 19 MAY
"All these people are getting their dating profiles blood-verified. You know, shouldn’t we just go for the people we fancy?"
Overview
Bea meets Aaron. He’s intelligent, handsome, makes her laugh and, most importantly, has a high rating on his genetic profile. What’s not to like?
Char is on the brink of landing her dream job and has big plans to start a family - but her blood rating threatens it all.
In a world where future happiness depends on a single, inescapable blood test – which dictates everything from credit rating to dating prospects - how far will people go to beat the system and let nature take its course?
