Universal Robots
Written by Mac Rogers
Directed by Sam Tillis
The Great War has just ended. The fledgling Republic of Czechoslovakia, under its first elected President, boasts a thriving artistic and intellectual community. At the center of that community is the celebrated playwright Karel Capek, a passionate advocate for all his newborn nation can achieve. But the brave new world arrives faster than Karel could have ever expected when a young woman walks into his life with a strange mannequin in a wheelchair… a mannequin that gets up and moves all by itself. Universal Robots offers a compelling, alternate history of the Twentieth Century, imagining the invention of the robot in 1921 and chronicling the shocking consequences of that invention right up to the present day.
Join Quantum Dragon Theatre, the SF Bay Area's first and foremost science-fiction/fantasy theatre company, for this West Coast premiere production of award-winning playwright Mac Rogers’ Universal Robots, inspired by the classic work of science fiction theatre R.U.R (Rossum’s Universal Robots) by Karel Capek. Directed by QDT Artistic Director Sam Tillis, the production will open at the Phoenix Theatre— located at 414 Mason Street, San Francisco— on Friday, June 29th at 8pm.
Quantum Dragon Theatre believes that theatre of all kinds should be accessible to everyone. Accordingly, all tickets for Universal Robots are pay-what-you-want (suggested donation $25). When you purchase your tickets, you will be able to select from some of our suggested payment levels or enter any amount of your own choosing.
If you are able to donate $50 or more per ticket, we will guarantee you seats in the front-and-center section of the audience at the Phoenix Theatre. We expect that these seats will go quickly, so don't miss your chance to experience this great way to watch the play!
