  • Alix Sobler: Ada by Aeneas Sagar Hemphill
    “

    A thoughtful exploration of the question, how do we treat "people" we don't consider to be human? And while we're at it, what does it mean to be human, and who gets to decide? A chilling glimpse into our future relationship with technology, working-class folks, women, and our corporate overlords. Sci-fi on stage in its most compelling form, asking questions we don't like to think about in a funny and engaging way.

    What excites me about this play is the way Hemphill has economically and effortlessly blended elements of science-fiction and workplace comedy to produce a full-throated attack on Weinstein-esque predation and the capital-warped culture that permits it. Ada is a terrific role. The design possibilities are thrilling to ponder. Can't wait to see it!

    A thrilling and thought-provoking exploration of humanity in a technologically fraught world. How do we define consciousness? What is our collective responsibility to the life-like things we create? As the characters struggle with questions of identity, morality, and revenge, it becomes impossible not to turn those questions on ourselves.
