A funny and profound meditation on the complexity of chronic illness and the ache of desire.
How far would you go to heal? For five women at a clinic in Northern California, deprivation seems to be the only answer to heal their bodies from a litany of afflictions--cancers and autoimmune disorders and thyroid conditions and mysterious infections. To distract themselves from the near-constant pain they are in, they philosophize and swap book recommendations, confide intimate family stories, and share hopes for their future recoveries. Over the course of several days, the clinic becomes a purgatorial space, where prolonged hunger and suffering seem to warp time itself. Infinite Life is an engrossing and compassionate play that resists easy answers to the problem of what it means to reside in a body that fails you.
