the story
From the writer of Love + Science, praised by The New York Times for its “meticulous drama” and “precision… like a lab experiment,” Spare Parts is a sharp, darkly funny, and deeply unsettling new play that collides cutting-edge science with unchecked ambition.
When a billionaire obsessed with immortality funds radical aging research, ethical lines blur, power dynamics implode, and a shocking secret comes to light—one that turns the quest for longer life into a chilling examination of identity, consent, and what it really means to be human.
Spare Parts asks the question we’re all thinking but rarely say out loud: what would it cost to live forever?
