Fresh from her feature in Forbes 40 Under 40, venture capitalist May Lee is on the hunt for her first unicorn – the rarest of beasts, in the form of a start-up with a $1bn valuation. It would skyrocket both her career and net worth, guarantee promotion to partner and cement her legacy as one of the best in the business. Enter Willa McGovern, a hungry young entrepreneur with an idea that could be life-changing not only for May, but the entire human race…

With her mentor Paul keen for results and the potential of saving countless lives, May quickly discovers that ambition, ego and cold hard cash can twist even the purest of intentions. As technology hurtles toward making science fiction into reality, the question becomes not whether we can change the world, but what it will cost us when we do.

The creative team behind the production also includes: designer Rosie Elnile, lighting designer Alex Fernandes, sound designer Russell Ditchfield, video designer Hayley Egan and movement director Michael Meazza.
