    PRODUCE THIS PLAY. DO IT NOW.

    Wonder is Magical, inspired by Shakespearean greatness. Cross' command of Early Modern English phrasing completes the theatrical time travel. The relationship between Dee and the Automaton is reminiscent of Ariel and Prospero’s relationship.

    Clever and witty, this play is a marvelous invention. Monica Cross broke the idea to me years ago, "Shakespeare as a Robot," and I had no idea what to think. I read an earlier draft, a one act, and was excited. To see what has become from this is pure delight.
