You won't find what you want. It can't ever be real will, real desire; it'll only ever be a simulation.
In 1920, playwright Karel Capek imagined a world of A.I. and rebellion, inspiring and influencing a century of sci-fi cinema. 100 years later, Headlong reawakens his visionary play R.U.R. as ROBOTA – high-voltage theatre for the age of artificial intelligence.
In a not-too-distant future the Rossum Corporation has done the impossible: created machines indistinguishable from humans. Built to serve, programmed to obey and ready to be rolled out worldwide.
But when idealistic activist Helen gets involved, these perfect workers begin to dream of freedom and the system starts to glitch. As the line between human and machine blurs, how do we hold on to our humanity?
Blending origin story with sci-fi, myth with machine, this is a smart, timely and often funny look at what it means to truly be alive.
This edition was published to coincide with the Headlong and Schwarzman Centre Production in July 2026.
