After more than 30 Edinburgh Fringes, time to call it a day! One of my three favourites. 'Rare and beautiful' (Three Weeks). 'Achieves beauty in its simplicity' (Stage). 'Beautifully crafted, absolutely compelling' (EdinburghGuide.com).

Ever wanted to murder HR, sexually assault a puppet and sing a workplace song? Join Strategists Beth and Ben as they induct a cohort of new-starters into ENTITY, a global superpower. When the introduction of an AI assistant threatens to derail their workshop, they must hold the session together while proving the value of human labour. This becomes a challenge when digital integration turns romantic, and Ben falls in love with the AI, whilst Beth's morally bankrupt plan to harness criminals for clean energy gets the green light. A high-energy, multimedia two-hander.

Will machines take revenge on us? Dmitry Melkin, writer / director unites storytelling, dance and neural network-driven visuals into a single, evolving score. Performed by rising star Gladstone Mahib, the piece follows a machine striving to rediscover the human image, offering a speculative yet incisive vision of the future. Language becomes soundscape, blending meaning, glitches, hypertext and layered quotations. Voices from Waters, Land, Catullus, Pushkin, Tennessee Williams, Philip Dick, Benjamin, Japanese poetry, ancient philosophy, the Bob and Alice bot dialogue, and the AlphaZero-Stockfish "immortal zugzwang", shape a contemporary cyberpunk lexicon.
