The Lifeline Project

By: Lifeline Musical
  • Summary

  • Wait, it’s a musical about what!? The Lifeline Project explores the science and stories behind the musical, ’Lifeline’, a show about antibiotics, Alexander Fleming and the biggest current health crisis you might never have heard of - AntiMicrobial Resistance. In this podcast we explore this massive topic in global health through the eyes of scientists, patients, campaigners, writers and musicians. With AMR threatening to kill 10 million people a year by 2050 the time to act is now, and what better way to find out about this pressing social and scientific issue than through a musical and its accompanying podcast! So, what is AMR? How do we prevent it? And how on earth can a musical about antibiotics make any difference? The Lifeline Project is produced and hosted by Lifeline cast member, Graham Richardson, with original music from Lifeline Composer, Robin Hiley. The musical itself is running off Broadway at Signature Theatre from 28 Aug-28 Sep 2024 with tickets available from the website. www.lifelinemusical.com @lifelinemusical

  • The Drugs Are In The Water
    Aug 21 2024

    How do you fit the nearly hundred year history of antimicrobials in agriculture and the environment into one song? Buckle up.

    Talking about the antibiotic emergency under the banner of One Health means not only taking in the history of drugs in medicine but also the wild ways they have been used in animals and their effect on the environment. Helping us navigate this huge topic are 'bugs and drugs' historian Dr Claas Kirchhelle and AMR expert and vital friend to the show, Dr CarriAyne Jones Parr.
