Genesis Inc

Synopsis

Serena and Jeff have one last chance to conceive: Genesis Incorporated, whose glowing testimonials and bespoke treatments surely justify a final roll of the dice.

Meanwhile, Bridget has put it all on ice while she focuses on her high-flying career and on finding Mr Right.

And all Miles wants is to be able to afford a property in Zone 4 – oblivious to the fact that, in a different kind of currency, he’s actually the richest of them all…

<i>Genesis Inc.</i> explores the final frontier of twenty-first-century capitalism: the privatisation of human reproduction.

Jemma Kennedy’s explosively funny new comedy takes a closer look at the lengths to which people will go to defy biology – and at the moral compass of an industry that trades on fear and hope.

It premiered at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2018, in a production directed by Laurie Sansom.
