THE SECOND LIFE
a virtual/reality light painting on physics themes following the search for a woman lost online.
The online virtual world of Second Life stretches thousands of kilometers and millions of visitors. While searching for her lost sister, Jessica struggles to find out what – and who – are real. Life and its double are at stake in this multi-media exploration of loss in the digital age.
The Second Life was developed over 4 years after winning honours at Ontario's professional playwright development centre, Pat the Dog. After a sold out run at Hamilton's Theatre Aquarius and Kitchener's IMPACT '15 Festivals, The Second Life performed at Burlington's Performing Arts Centre, St. Catherine's In the Soil Festival, and the Stratford Springworks Festival.

A tense, provocative evening of theatre, Trevor Copp’s drama is a lethal, riveting look at a world rocking on the edge of frightening discoveries that will threaten your sleep at night.”
- Gary Smith, The Hamilton Spectator
“an evening of ethereal, otherworldly provocation…I felt myself somehow suspended in time and space…[Copp’s] endeavours promise to be the wave of theatre future.”
