Beethoven's Third

Recommended by

    A brilliant satire that also works as a piece of science fiction. Scathing and hilarious critique of the world of non-profit arts. I'm astonished by how much world-building Ho is able to do in so few pages.

    Like all great satire, this play hides complicated truths and important questions beneath a veneer of silly, frantic fun... but what a hysterical, original premise for the fun it has! A sure-fire crowd-pleaser with some important life lessons that will linger. I loved the use of ASL and the respect for it!

    Howard Ho speaks for every artist in his 'call to revolution' play, Beethoven's Third. It is a brilliant as it funny. And although the satire is clear, it is a none-the-less harrowing look at the threatening reality of artificial intelligence and its intersection with our way of living and creating. See the play. Join the fight.
