A visionary storyteller shifts her work from film to stage to share a morality tale for our times. Lynette Wallworth brings her renowned storytelling skills to the stage in a surprising new work that sheds light on the seduction of cultish extremism. 

She never planned to tell this story, because in it she is the central character. But as implausible conspiracies like QAnon gripped millions around the world and the Evangelical Advisory Board advised Donald Trump throughout his presidency, Wallworth saw a chapter from her past come rushing into the present.

Using her artworks as touchstones, Wallworth navigates a young woman’s slippage into a shared belief system that divides and polarises. HOW TO LIVE (After You Die) upholds the voice of an artist in her prime, while pointing to the plethora of extremist influences that can manipulate and mould us, unless we find our way back to the creation of our own story.
