The Phlebotomist
"I’m not that into this whole ratings thing to be honest… shouldn’t we just go for who we fancy?"
Bea meets Aaron. He’s intelligent, handsome, makes her laugh and, most importantly, has a high rating on his genetic profile. What’s not to like? Char has two degrees and is on the brink of landing her dream job but her rating threatens it all... In a ratist world where health, wealth and happiness depend on a single blood test - dictating everything from bank loans to dating prospects – phlebotomy reigns supreme. So how far will people go to beat the system?

Very good play, very well acted and good interaction with clips on the big screen behind. Very interesting topic showing what could easily happen in our future, definitely makes you think. The actors were excellent.
