Lungs by Duncan Macmillan

A smart and stimulating eavesdrop on a modern relationship - an honest and humorous exploration of love, uncertainty, and the impact of personal choices on the future and on the planet.

"Dazzling" "Brutally Honest" "Edgy" "Striking"

A beautifully crafted love story…A single conversation that spans a lifetime…

Join counter/current once again on an adventurous theatrical experience that's not to be missed! Featuring counter/current Artistic Director John Jurcheck and Company Member Madeline Bugeau-Heartt and directed by counter/current Producing Director Courtney Hayes, this dazzling freight-train of a piece spans the surprising lifecycle of a couple's relationship.

Held in a multitude of secret locations in Downtown Belfast, audience members will find out the location of their performance the day before the show. All locations are walking distance from Main Street, and most performances will be held outside. Outdoor locations are ADA accessible; please contact us prior to booking tickets so we can accommodate you. Please be prepared with layers, rain gear, bug spray, sturdy shoes and water. Bring a cushion if sitting on a metal chair is uncomfortable for you.

Lungs will open Friday August 8th, 2025, and run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 7:30pm through September 7th. Performances run 75 min with no intermission. Keeping with our mission, a 20 min post show discussion will follow every performance.

Please note this play has adult language and themes throughout and deals with topics including sex, preganancy and miscarriage; suitable for ages 17 and up with parental discretion. Please contact us with any questions or concerns. We will be happy to talk to you about the play!
