THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS THE CANADIAN PREMIERE OF:

INFINITE LIFE

By Annie Baker
Directed by Jackie Maxwell

Five women in Northern California fasting/health resort sit outside on chaise lounges and philosophize. A surprisingly funny inquiry into the complexity of suffering, and what it means to desire in a body that’s failing you.

“An undeniably important and timely work... often mesmerizing and undeniably audacious.”
The Guardian

“Illness is no metaphor, and neither is pleasure, in Annie Baker’s weird and great new play... Infinite Life is very weird and great. Like The Flick, The Aliens, John and other previous work, it peeps at the greatest mysteries of life – in this case principally pain and desire, and what they have in common – through the tiny, seemingly inconsequential windows of banal human behavior.”
Jesse Green, The New York Times

“Infinite Life turns chronic pain into complex pleasure... in this primal, honest drama, strangers gather at a northern California clinic, grow closer, then disperse after grazing past each other’s lives.”
Observer

Infinite Life premiered off-Broadway at Atlantic Theater Company on August 18, 2023. Directed by James Macdonald, the production featured Marylouise Burke, Mia Katigbak, Christina Kirk, Kristine Nielsen, Brenda Pressley and Pete Simpson.
