The 1921 play that created the word "Robot"!

The future of the world is looking bright as a team of 6 unlikely friends spark a new type of industrial revolution with a single invention: Humanoid Robots. But when a young activist seeks to make the Robots more human, the world finds out just how dangerous humanity can be.

A novel idea!  Czech playwright Karel Capek gave the world the idea of Robots.  He also added that word into the lexicon for all time.  This play introduced the world to the idea of man-made intelligent beings back in 1921.

Now in a new, cutting-edge translation, Commedia Beauregard presents the play that confronts the morality of humanity and its technology. 

This darkly comedic play gave birth to an entire genre of entertainment.  Come see where it all began.
