Spillikin post show 'Meet the Robot' Q&A (360G-Wellcome-204069_Z_16_Z)
We will be mounting a substantial tour of our play Spillikin from October 2016, a moving, tender and funny production set in 2030 about an older lady with Alzheimer’s acquiring a humanoid robot as a life-companion. "An astonishing piece of theatre that allows a box of blinking lights and whirring gears to move us fallible humans to tears" Edinburgh Guide "Heart-shattering drama about love and dementia" Exeunt "A delightful show – whose technical accomplishments are matched by its compassion." The List We have over 41 confirmed bookings, with a further 25 unconfirmed. We wish to offer all venues a post show Q & A in which one of the creative team will speak remotely through the robot itself, taking questions from audience members. This will allow the public, already primed by the erformance itself to experience the robot first hand, ask questions about the production and the technology, and debate the core issues that the play has raised both with the robot itself cast, and other audience members. We will be gathering specific responses to the issues raised and this data will contribute to research by our university research partners. We are asking for funding for this post show element only.
