Watford Palace Theatre's autumn season includes premières of three new plays, films, talks and installations about the digital world.
Overseen by the Theatre's Artistic Director, Brigid Lamour, the Ideal World Season looks at the impact of the most rapid and radical technological revolution in human history and has at its core three new commissions in repertory over five weeks.
A comedy about dating agencies, Perfect Match, by Gary Owen opens the Season, and is followed by Virgin by E V Crowe (in association with Nabokov) a story about how the introduction of broadband to a rural community starts generational conflict. Override is the last play of the trio, darkly comic it questions what it means to be human in a world where technology can erase imperfection and disabilities.
