DON’T SAVE ME

Don't Save Me pres by Punchers Chance Co

★★★★ Sydney Arts Guide

well worth seeing, playing the vibrant KXT Theatre Broadway, a venue well worth visiting David Kary

Unable to face the death of Jade, his terminally ill wife, Pat has been recording their conversations in secret, so that he can bring her back to life using Artificial Intelligence. But when Jade finds out, she is horrified. If Pat can’t appreciate the time he and Jade have left, he risks losing her much sooner than expected. He loves her, but can he learn to let her go?

Don’t Save Me is a work of fiction, but around the world people are already creating avatars of their deceased loves. This fresh piece provokes a range of new questions about the ethics of using AI, and ultimately asks the question – do people retain the right to their identities after death?

Director Nelson Blake with Holly Mazzola; Ben Itaba; Raechyl French
