Rossum's "Universal Robots"
By Karel Kapek
Performacne Description:
Written in the 1920's and set in the distant future, this play coined our usage of the word "robots" in modern vocabulary. Helena Glory, the President's Daughter, visits the remote island where Rossum's Universal Robots are produced and distributed. On behalf of the Humanity League, she campaigns for better treatment and fair compensation for Robots. In the elapse of 10 years, we see the evolvement of Robot technology is balanced by the devolvement of humans to the point of 0 birth rate. In the eclipse of total Robot revolt we see the birth of a new life form, a new Adam and Eve emerge in the garden....
Performances are Sunday evenings April 9, 23, 30 and May 7th at 7pm. Readings take place at the Nuwandart Gallery 258 A St in Ashland.
