There's a tendency here to play it for comedy, and indeed, there are a number of laugh lines. But as the play progresses, we start to realize the implications of what's in store for us and it's wonderfully unsettling (if it can be such a thing) Timely too, as our obsession with AI inspired online art seems to imply. It would be just as interesting for us to watch the audience (as they are directly involved) as well as the actors... Or are they?

A fun and spooky look at science fiction that takes you right in to the process of creation. You won't know what's coming until the end and things get very creepy!

I would love to see this. Or... NOT SEE IT!!! (It's ideally performed in the dark.)

Beyond the sci-fi A.I. trope/policy of putting a "shotgun" in potentially achieving sentience and rebelling, which is constructed here quite entertainingly, Hageman makes you think about what makes us human AND humane! How much do we value our fellow man? Do the rich who are hemorrhaging money want the working class to think and feel? Do people with power want to destroy the sentience of those without it?

It's potent, relevant, and most importantly unnerving science fiction!
