Description: 'Scenes from Family Life' is a charged and punchy play about relationships and the last two people left on earth. Pregnant Lisa and Jack are teenagers and neither can wait for the baby to arrive and their lives to start. But then everyone starts to dematerialise and all over the planet people, including Lisa, are disappearing. Soon the only people left are Jack and his heavily pregnant friend Stacey. Jack adjusts to the silent and primitive world; but for Stacey it begins to turn into a nightmare. 'Scenes from Family Life', first performed in 2008, was commissioned as part of the National Theatre Connections programmes, plays specifically written for teenagers.
