'Incredible scriptwriting [...] a deeply mesmerising watch. Hudson's script had me doubting everything I thought I knew [...] a wonderful new play that deserves a lot of love' - ★★★★★ 5 star review, Broadway World    

855-FOR-TRUTH examines the similarities between religious doomsday narratives and End Times climate change rhetoric, and where love and fear, action and inaction can be discerned. A story of connection, shared humanity and the desire - or inability- to fix or save our world and each other, it questions where even the most polarising views become similar, and what can be seen through colliding science and religion with love.

“I can’t care for you when you’re like this — can’t love you when you’re like this — you need to be--- you need to be better.”

Gráinne leaves Ardoyne, Belfast, for England, chasing the promise of a better life for her daughter. She scrubs, she bleaches, she sacrifices— and piece by piece, she begins to disappear.

Eimear grows up surrounded by privilege, stepping through doors her mother could never open. But with every step forward, she drifts further away — into another class, another name, another life.

As they clash over diverging ideas of womanhood, what surfaces is complex and turbulent, straining their relationships — with themselves and with each other — to breaking point. 

Life Before You, a fierce and unflinching new play by Eva Hudson, lays bare the fault lines between mothers and daughters. Addressing women’s healthcare, class, survival, and the erasure of aging women, it asks: what do we pass on, and how do we escape the lives written for us?
