Description
In the near future, technology promises to solve our problems. But can we ever truly trust it? This trilogy of plays explores the impact of machines on human relationships. Staged in an empty office block transformed with vivid projection and atmospheric soundscapes, Interference asks whether technology will interfere with what we really need from each other. The plays examine two contrasting worlds: a virtual reality metaverse where a woman waits to do homework with her young daughter, and a care home staffed by advanced androids. As the boundaries between human and machine begin to blur, the question remains: can we find connection in a world of increasing technological influence? Published to coincide with National Theatre of Scotland's 2019 production, this edition brings together the work of Morna Pearson, Hannah Khalil, and Vlad Butucea.
