Can Androids fall in love?

Posted by Thorpe Players on Nov 21, 08 07:23 PM in Clubs/societies

Carla&Adam_ePress.jpgLocal drama group, Thorpe Players, is looking to the future with its next production.

The play, "Comic Potential", is set a few years hence, when daytime TV soaps are even further down the scale than they are now. Actors are not always Humans any more, some of them are Androids.

But what happens if an Android falls in love?

Director Karen Noble was drawn to this futuristic love story, saying that "This play gives the group a great challenge; it is a chance to show both human and mechanistic movement and emotions.

"It is wonderful opportunity to explore beyond the norms of our currently known limits."

The group is presenting the play at Thorpe Village Hall, Coldharbour Lane, on Wednesday 3rd to Saturday 6th December at 8pm.

Tickets are a credit-crunch friendly £8 and are bookable in advance on 07923 583295 - any unsold tickets are available on the door each evening.

"Comic Potential" is by Alan Ayckbourn and is written with all his usual observant wit. He gives us an heartwarming play which is sometimes farce, and sometimes something much deeper, set in a time when "everything has changed, except human nature".

We'd like to hear from you.
