About this show
Nova and T have just turned 100 years old – but still look 30. For one day only, the twins host an exclusive interview revealing the secrets behind their eternal youth. Peek into this dystopian daily routine; 4:30am alarms. Red-light therapy. Shock treatments. Botox. Blood transfusions. 20+ supplements. No friends. No fun. Ultimate rule: Don't die. The interviewer's attention turns to the twins' most controversial procedure. As public scrutiny grows, tension rises, secrets surface and their perfect system begins to fail. After all, even jellyfish can be washed ashore.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 1 published review and 10 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
The quest to live forever proves amusing for our rather unlikeable 100-year-old twins. It's a show filled with great ideas, but the ending needs to be reconsidered for the piece to be truly great.
