Terms & Conditions

by Danielle Wirsansky

Kyle logs on for date night with Ava—his AI girlfriend made flesh onstage—certain he’s finally found a
woman who will give him exactly what he wants. But as his flirtation curdles into entitlement, Ava’s
disarmingly sweet questions begin to unravel the “logic” he lives by. Terms & Conditions is a dark, laugh out-loud two-hander about desire, control, and what happens when even a fantasy refuses to obey.

    05/15/2026 - It seems AI is at the forefront of every discussion these days. Why not dating? Danielle Wiransky has written an engaging dark comedy that will make you laugh for every moment it makes you think. I love how this virtual "relationship" makes Kyle and Ava become more human. Hilarious from beginning to end. This will get audiences laughing and talking long after the curtain goes down.

    Although it is dressed up as a comedic take on AI dating, “Terms and Conditions” played more to me as an incisive treatise on objectification, consent, and the male gaze. Kyle is a man enmeshed with his technology, who summons from it his idealized mate only to discover that the same masculine hang-ups that undoubtedly impact his IRL relationships have followed him into his virtual one. A short AI comedy that may well leave you rooting for the AI. Well done.

    Not only has Danielle Wirsansky given us something of a dystopian tale on the impending consequences of an emerging technological platform, but with "Terms & Conditions" she shows the difficulty in attempting to adapt human emotions with such advancements. Especially when those advancements are unchecked. An unsettling short play, indeed.

Character Information

KYLE — ordinary, maybe less-than-ordinary. Mid-20s to mid-30s. A man who has trained himself to
live forward, toward a screen.
AVA — played by a glamorous actress. Curated perfection: hair, makeup, outfit. She moves with ease,
confidence, and a softness that reads as “girlfriend” until it doesn’t.
