Satire, spectacle, and environmental consciousness collide in Bess Wohl’s Continuity, a dark and hilarious “play in six takes” directed by UVA faculty member Doug Grissom. The narrative centers on the making of a blockbuster—but artsy—action movie in the New Mexico desert. As the film’s exhausted cast and crew race to finish production, personalities clash, artistic vision wrestles against industry logistics, and the role of storytelling in a world facing environmental crisis is tested.
Wednesday 11/5 through Saturday 11/8. $10–16, 8pm. Helms Theatre, 109 Culbreth Rd. drama.virginia.edu
