Hiveminds are becoming increasingly in vogue at the moment – and maybe the more specific question we should be asking is “what is happening in our world to make us think this” rather than simply “why”.
SUM depicts characters who have entered this contract to share these minds between them in a much more intimate way than the illusions that our social media now provide. They question concepts that we have accepted since time began – love, birth, war and loss – and still manage to find their own journeys despite the information that has been shared. Who is the pioneer of the technology? Who will use it for good (whatever that means in this reality), and who will use it to further their own ends? Should everyone be able to connect? Performed at The Bread and Roses theatre. CAST Carrie/Lan - Lydia Kay Syne - Melanie Crossey Pi - Eleanor Russo Sam - Briony Wyatt Law/Inspector - Susan Gray Written by Susan Gray.
