Created as part of Cumbernauld Theatre Company’s innovative Invited Guest programme, LipSync is an intensely intimate exploration of life with an invisible illness.

Two performers simultaneously work their way through one story, one script, and one life. While making its way through challenging personal themes, such as living with a hidden disability and a life-threatening inherited disease, this new play sees Cumbernauld Theatre Company explore the joys of breath, and breathing.

Featuring several part spoken and part sung songs, LipSync asks how can we have honest, caring and non-sentimental conversations about illness. By asking the audience to think about the things in life we all conveniently ignore, our performers anchor us in these difficult dialogues by always bringing us back to the experiences of a woman for whom every breath is precious, and for whom singing brings joy.
