CONTINUITY by Bess Wohl- a play in six takes

Expires: February 7, 2026

About the Project

SYNOPSIS
A sheet of ice sits in the desert of New Mexico. A mad eco-terrorist plants a bomb in order to save humankind. A beleaguered film crew tries to get in one last shot before losing the light. In Continuity, a "play in six takes", storytelling and science collide with hilarious and devastating consequences.

CONTINUITY interrogates the role of storytelling in a world on the brink of actual environmental crisis and asks "How do we keep going when hope can seem as fictional as a Hollywood ending?" and also, "What's for lunch?"
