2025-2026
Continuity
by David Sear
“Continuity” is a satirical and darkly comic tale about humanity’s yearning for immortality – and what happens when technology and vast wealth manipulate the very essence of what makes us human. In a world where the pace of change is unprecedented and our ability to adapt to that change is struggling to evolve, Continuity asks the existential questions: ‘What is the value of my continued existence? And, more importantly, can I get a better phone?’. David Sear’s new play could not be more relevant to a world where billionaires control 50% of global wealth and exercise ever increasing power over humanity.
