Epidemic tells the story of Marlon, a young man with a problem, finding it hard to get the help he needs from a system he doesn’t trust. He decides to get away, hops into the nearest vehicle and drives off. When he finds there are two people sitting in the back seat who share his feelings of isolation, a simple journey to see the sea turns into a popular crusade about health and happiness. As a media panic whips up a frenzy, the kind of frenzy that goes to the heart of government, Marlon begins to wonder if he’s gone too far or not far enough...

Who’s to say what sanity is? Neither you nor I
And if everyone was exactly the same, then what would really be the point of -
Life, with all its complexities, life, with all of the highs and the lows,
The yeses, the nos, the joys and the woes, the maybe, I don’t knows
Life, the passion, the glory, the strife, if you’re lucky you’ll breeze through easy - chances are, you won’t
Any one of us could find ourselves running away from the Black Dogs
Oh and there but for the grace if you’re never out of shape and let’s face it -
Everybody’s growing older
Life, with all its complexities, life, with all of the highs and the lows,
The yeses, the nos, the joys and the woes, the maybe, I don’t knows
Life, the passion, the glory, the strife, if you’re lucky you’ll breeze through easy - chances are, you won’t
You’re probably going to run into stormy weather
But if you hang around for it to pass, you could be waiting forever
So you might as well throw your hands to the heavens and dance in the rain instead
Life, with all its complexities, life, with all of the highs and the lows,
The yeses, the nos, the joys and the woes, the maybe, I don’t knows
Life, the passion, the glory, the strife, if you’re lucky you’ll breeze through easy - chances are, you won’t
‘Cos that’s life ------- life ------- life -----------------------------
If you haven’t been affected by any of the issues in the show, we hope you enjoyed it, have a safe trip home
But if something struck a chord, you’re not alone
Because any similarity to any person, living or dead, or to actual events is entirely intentional
But if you’re one of the fortunate few who sails through life unhindered, never needing to look inward,
Then do the rest of us a favour and pass on the secret code
Oh our routes may be different, but we’re all bound for the same end of the road
Life, with all its complexities, life, with all of the highs and the lows,
The yeses, the nos, the joys and the woes, the maybe, I don’t knows
Life, the passion, the glory, the strife, if you’re lucky you’ll breeze through easy - chances are, you won’t
‘Cos that’s life - life------ life------
life------ life------
life------ life------
life------ life----------------------------
life---------------------------- life------
