Theatre & Conversation: R.U.R: A Retro-Futuristic Musical  

Alliance for New Music-Theatre presents an intimate reading with music based on the play R.U.R.  in a music-theatre adaptation by composer Maurice Saylor and director Susan Galbraith.

R.U.R. takes us “back to the future” in this work-in-development, unveiling the ideas behind a play written in 1920 by Czech playwright Karel apek, who introduced the word “robot” to the world.  The work both celebrates and examines critically the promise of industrialization and technology that was envisioned in the time of the very modern “Electric President” Wilson. Following the performance, the Alliance will lead a conversation with the audience to further explore themes presented.

Ticketed event, $20.
