Mayuri (A Staged Reading)

Quintessence
Humanity’s extinction leaves behind an AI being programmed to recreate the human race when the time is right, with the complete works of Shakespeare as a guide to the human spirit. Humanity must thrive... but at what cost?

Tuesday, 3 December, 7pm
& Wednesday, 4 December, 9pm
We Sing, I Sang
An improvised opera, drawing on the audience’s experiences and stories to create a new collective Mind each night. What was the crisis? Who were the fragments? And why did they join the Mind? A world will be built and lost
over the course of the evening.
TICKETS HERE!
Thursday 5 December & Saturday 7 December, 7pm
Room Service
What happens when you check into a hotel and room service knows what you need before you do?
When it knows more about you than your family and friends?
When it decides it knows what is best for you.
