Control by
Keziah Warner at the
New Theatre Sydney, has a
Black Mirror sensibility, with Dr Who 60's set design. This is a dystopian future where Big Brother is always watching, memories can be edited, and the robots have more emotion than the people. The cast all do a fine job of switching characters from empty headed social media influencer, to more sympathetic robot. The set looks suitably sci-fi and bleak.
Some seems of a far distant future, and some looks like my day job. Earlier today I was discussing the benefits of Augmented versus Virtual Reality for teaching English to Japanese students, with researchers around the world, on Zoom, of course. Also, yes, in the office there is a robot.
You can purchase a copy of Control, or catch it at the New Theatre, until 30 July, or wait for it to come true.
ps: For an immersive sc-fi conspiracy theory experience, join
International Strategic Deepspace Command (ISDC), hidden behind the
Milesham Organisation, on Paramatta Road, Sydney. ;-)
