The play has bold ambitions and Writer-Director David Weedall set about fulfilling its promise using a minimalist white blank screen canvass set, upon which the actors painted in bold colours, a highly thought provoking piece of theatre. No need for high-tech effects here as the actors took us on a journey that was at times amusing and at others, serious and solemn.

This is what Fringe Theatre is all about and I must confess to enjoying greatly the variety of characters portrayed in this dark satire.

Praise must certainly be attributed to Kizzy Kaye?s portrayal of Zoe, whilst her moronic girlfriend was admirably played by Dominique Green. The disturbing site of an all American Anti-Hero was wonderfully encapsulated by Jack Kristiansen, whilst the mad heartless scientist was vividly depicted by Peter vanDoorn. This left the wildly two-faced ?Resistance Leader? that took us all by surprise in the competent hands of Sasha McNally.

Who are the Ruling Authority? Are they a truly a randomly selected group of people or a mega-mainframe hidden in some underground bunker far away the general public?

Can we really trust the future to Robots and the slow march of Computerisation in our lives? These are just a few of the questions posed in the salutary tale.
