Girl In The Machine

Do you want to live forever? 
‘YES’ or ’NO’ 

Polly and Owen have nailed it. Both in successful careers and wildly in love, they feel ready to take on the world – and with Polly’s new promotion at work, it seems like life can’t get much better.

But when a mysterious new technology, promising a break from the daily grind, creeps into everyone’s phones, their world is turned upside down. As the line between physical and digital rapidly dissipates, and as the population begins to rebel, Polly and Owen are forced to question whether their definitions of reality and freedom are the same.

Girl in the Machine is a disturbing but compassionate vision of our potential digital future, and what it might mean for ‘life’ as we know it.

Girl in the Machine is made by Upload Theatre, which is the company created by students in their 3^rd Year of their BA in Performing Arts at University Centre Weston, directed by Adrian Harris, by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
