Following a world première run at York Theatre Royal in May, Pilot Theatre and York Theatre Royal are to take their co-production of Neil Duffield’s stage adaptation of E M Forster’s The Machine Stops on a UK tour next year.
In a dystopian world where humans have retreated far underground, Kuno alone questions their now total dependency on technology to live and communicate with each other, but in his struggle to break out can he reach the Earth’s surface before the Machine stops?
Duffield’s adaptation of Foster’s chilling short story explores our increasingly intricate relationship with technology.
