★★★★★ “Extraordinary” – TimeOut

Annie Baker’s new play Infinite Life gets a critically acclaimed transfer to the National Theatre.

Directed by James Macdonald (The Welkin, John), Infinite Life is a surprisingly funny inquiry into the complexity of suffering, and what it means to desire in a body that’s failing you.

This bold, dreamlike story comes direct to London following a sell-out run at the Atlantic Theater Company in New York.

A hugely talented cast includes Marylouise Burke, Mia Katigbak, Christina Kirk, Kristine Nielsen, Brenda Pressley and Pete Simpson.

Infinite Life is playing in the Dorfman theatre at the National Theatre from 22 November 2023 to 13 January 2024.

There’s no current news on whether Infinite Life will transfer into the West End, but check back for details or sign-up to our email alerts.
