The real beauty in this play is how Palmer presents the familiar through a decidedly robot lens. And what a lens it is! This robot is compelling in the way he interacts with the world, in the questions he asks, and the human problems he attempts to comfort... and finds himself understanding in his own way. Raises fascinating questions about creation, inspiration, and what we owe to that which we bring into the world. I especially loved the AI poetry, the often strange attempts of a mechanical mind to understand the information it's given.

Sometimes in life, you have to decide between plays about A.I., the grief of losing a child, drug addiction, lesbian life, computer-generated poetry, and aquatic animatronics. But you deserve to have it all, and Palmer delivers with this profound and quirky road trip play. You've come to the right place for clever quips and for a story about our attempts to fix other people, be there for others, and fill the void left by departed loved ones.
