Abstract
Can you ever really trust a machine?
It is the near future.
A couple are struggling to conceive, but fortunately their company has the perfect solution.
A woman waits in a VR metaverse to do homework with her young daughter.
In a care home staffed by advanced AIs, a woman struggles to make a connection with her android carer.
Interference is a trilogy of near-future plays. Staged in an empty office block transformed with vivid projection and atmospheric soundscapes. It asks the question: will technology interfere with what we really need from each other?
This edition was published to coincide with National Theatre of Scotland's 2019 production.
