This was a direct development from ‘Same Old Story’. Using discoveries from that project we attempted to create a modern myth. A superhero story that combined themes we had found in the stories that endured.
It was also, as stated on the publicity, an exploration into a possible future where A.I. is a reality, and we tell the story of it becoming conscious.
As with all Third Theatre productions, the story was told with only the actors in an empty space, they provided the landscapes of a dystopian future, an array of characters, and even the technology itself.
It was an exploration into where the new market-lead ideology of Margaret Thatcher harnessed to what in 1992 was very new technology might take us.
