Recently I gave a lecture in Budapest about my latest play, Afterwards, which I'm completing as a Playwriting Fellow at @iasceu. I talked about our post-truth world & the lure of simple narratives, & about plays I love like A Mirror by Sam Holcroft & The Writer by @ellahickson.
Thank you Michael Billington @billicritic for this lovely review of FOREVERLAND: 'a reminder of the good things that happen Off West End... Hemingford shows a remarkable capacity to blend ideas and emotion'
The show is at @swkplay until this SATURDAY!

What if you could live forever? That is the premise of 'Foreverland', a brilliant new play by @EmmaHemingford now playing at @swkplay Borough that tackles the big questions with humour and heart.
Here's our ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review:

Really enjoyed Foreverland @swkplay Super interesting black-mirror-esque sci-fi thriller by @EmmaHemingford with deft direction from @fred_wienand Cast all brill but especially @emmakatmcdonald who is particularly compelling. Great design work as well across the board. Go see!
Emma Hemingford's Foreverland, about the alarming prospect of eternal life, is one of the best new plays in London. It has a short life at Southwark Playhouse until Oct 19 so catch it while you can.
✨Press Night Alert!✨
Best of luck to Emma McDonald (@emmakatmcdonald) as she stars in #Foreverland at Southwark Playhouse tonight!
🖊️Written by the incredibly talented Emma Hemingford (@emmahemingford), this is one you won’t want to miss!
Break a leg, team Foreverland!🎭💫
My play Foreverland is on at The Southwark Playhouse from now until 19th October! Part dystopian thriller, part relationship drama, Foreverland is a gripping story about the future of biotechnology. Would love to see you there. Info below: https://t.co/JvepFeBcyC
Truly stunning and utterly wonderful. Not a wasted word, an utterly amazing world, stunning characters, breathtaking adventure full of magic and wonder. What a book. #KatherineRundell is a treasure and “Impossible Creatures” is totally top drawer
Really recommend #MlimasTale@KilnTheatre - an unusual, evocative & haunting story about the cruelty of the ivory trade. The movement work was so beautiful that elephants were conjured just through the arch of a back or curl of an arm. Stunning!
