This is the 100th Anniversary of August Strindberg’s groundbreaking, hugely influential classic. Pre-figuring much of 20th Century theatrical form and horror-film conventions, Ghost Sonata creates a world where the audience is never quite sure whether anyone is alive or not.
A young student with the ability to see the dead encounters a ghoul-like old man, a woman called The Mummy, a vampire cook who sucks the sustenance from all food, and a host of creatures intent on making him one of them. A strange, startling and mesmerizing night of theater.

This Czech sci-fi piece from the 1920's is the origin of the word "robot" (from the Czech word for worker, or indentured servant).
Old Rossum might have been crazy, but he found a way to create artificial life; now after his death his company provides the workers to the world. So once they out number us, what happens when humanity starts arising within the robots? Is it merely a glitch to be eradicated - or are we the glitch. Amazing and thought-provoking theater.
