Puppetry, Multi-Media, and Sci-Fi Collide in Theatrical Adaptation of E.M. Forster’s 1909 Story “The Machine Stops.”

In an imagined future where everyone lives alone in identical, underground cells, people enjoy a seemingly blissful life – with all their needs provided by a multi-functional, omnipresent machine. Through a combination of live acting, puppetry and video projections, this production uses expressive theatricality to vividly bring Forster’s futuristic allegory to life on stage.
