“What’s important to all of us at ‘The Clinic’ is that we help humanity embrace sex and technology as an integral part of the same revolution. “We believe it is the right of everyone to live life the way they want to, and our job to empower them to do so. That’s why we’re the world’s number one facility.”
‘The Clinic’ is at the cutting edge, where technology fuses with the increasingly diverse sexual and social needs of the world’s population.
But all is not quite going to plan. The launch of the brand new ‘Bliss Chip’ – nanotechnology providing orgasms without the need for physical stimulation – is going badly, with hacked and pirated devices causing mayhem across the country.
And as the staff deal with the fallout, their own personal interactions with the technology they are creating threatens to create further problems.
A brand new play by Papatango award-winning playwright James Rushbrooke (Tomcat, 2015) that asks just how far are we willing to let technology take over our daily lives? And how far down that road are we already…?
Please note The Clinic contains strong language and language of a sexual nature.
