Review: LIFELINE, Southwark Playhouse Elephant


by Clementine Scott - April 03, 2026

Lifeline is the kind of play that feels as though it was composed with the help of a mindmap with one word circled in the centre, around which all parts of the drama must orbit. In this case, that word – or phrase, in fact – was ‘antibiotic resistance’....
