Synopsis:
Ninety is the new thirty at the turn of the 22nd century. When Marin refuses to take the anti-aging drug celebrated by the rest of society, she invokes her mother’s ire and risks becoming marginalized in a culture that worships youth, denies death, and treats old age as a malady. As Marin’s choice begins to affect not only her but the people she loves, will she find the strength to hold out, or succumb to social pressure?

"Probing and poking us to face our unnatural and narcissist fears of ageing,
Ageless
leaves us impressed." —Theatrius
Character:
OLIVIA - She/her/hers. Any race/ethnicity. Marin’s mother, also a genetic researcher. Appears early-mid 30s; does not appear to age throughout the play.
OLIVIA: It must seem cruel of me. I’m sorry. But I couldn’t let you die in the street, Marin. I had to make you understand. To finally see.
And you do see it now, don’t you? You understand. This is just how I felt in the last years of your grandmother’s life. Staring into those eyes that saw less and less, those windows into a darkening room. That helpless, aching, gnawing grief—I know it well. I don’t want to feel it again. I don’t want those empty eyes to be yours. And they don’t have to be.
(She holds out a pill bottle to Marin.)
Take it. Please, Marin. It’s too late for him—his age was already far too advanced when they brought him here—but not for you. Take it and you’ll never grow older. You’ll never grow sick and weak and useless. You’ll never be a burden to those who need you, and you’ll never abandon them. Think of Coral—you’ll never forget Coral. You’ll never die and leave her behind.
