26.2 REASONS TO STAY ALIVE
by LAURA MUGFORD
Written by actor, writer, designer (and runner!) Laura Mugford, who has now completed four marathons and two ultra-marathons, this small but mighty piece explores why we run. To answer such a question, we must ask ourselves another - what are we running from?

About
“I am on the Mall, 385 yards from the rest of my life”
Have you ever ran a marathon? Wanted to? Couldn’t think of anything worse? This 60-minute treadmill spectacular might just get you lacing up your trainers and hitting the pavement. This semi-autobiographical comedy follows ‘Runner’ as she navigates her first marathon, and every key moment in her life that lead her to the start line. From chronic illness, bullies, and nights in hospital all the way to the origins of the marathon itself, this play, performed all while running, will leave you wondering - what would you do to stay alive?
​
After a limited run at the Old Red Lion Theatre for FRESHFEST, Etcetera Theatre for Camden Fringe, and Greenwich Studio Theatre for ‘Pick of the Fringe’, 26.2 Reasons to Stay Alive is back for one week at the Arches Lane Theatre in Battersea.
