About the Play:
Ben and Julia are overjoyed to be expecting their first child, but are they actually ready for the realities of parenting? Luckily, there’s an app for that. As they navigate the chaos of modern life, the couple turns to the ultimate parenting tool to guide them through sleepless nights and existential panic. But with every push notification, the line between helpful and horrifying starts to blur. SCREEN TIME is a sharp, unsettling comedy about raising children in a world ruled by screens and the creeping anxiety that maybe, just maybe, we’re doing it all wrong.
