Content warning [May contain spoilers]
“Innovation at any cost. Consequences TBD.”
An improvised comedy of tech issues…and summoning the IT guy won’t fix it. Triumphant new technology—sleek, smart, life-changing, chosen by you for you. But progress has a price. As the tech takes hold, the cracks begin to show. Join us on an expedition into the world of new technology, we’ll guide you through all the joys it can bring—but perhaps that shiny new toy has just the tiniest crack in its surface.
What if all your devices could show you only good news, and filter out all the bad? What if an implant could always tell you when someone is lying? What if your AI dating coach secretly wanted to keep you single and using its services forever?
Every night you will be pitched the next big billion-dollar tech breakthrough and get to bear witness to how it falls apart.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
