About

In this electrifying reimagining of Karel Čapek's 1920 play that coined the word robot, Helena Glory infiltrates Rossum's Universal Robots with a daring agenda. As she unravels the factory's dark secrets, enhanced robots worldwide begin to revolt, plunging humanity into chaos.

Trapped on an island of rogue machines, Helena uncovers a shocking truth about herself that blurs the line between human and artificial. Racing against time, she must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting allegiances and escalating violence. With the fate of both species hanging in the balance, Helena's journey becomes a heart-pounding quest for survival and understanding.

Can she bridge the gap between humans and machines before it's too late?

Matt Borne's thrilling reimagining of this classic play explores the ethical dilemmas of artificial intelligence, the blurred lines between human and machine, and the power of empathy in bridging seemingly insurmountable divides.
