Archives - Comic Potential

by Alan Ayckbourn

Directed by Joan Goodwin

Friday 24th March – Saturday 1st April 2006 at 8pm in the Auditorium

Set mainly in a TV studio where a daytime soap is being directed by a once big-time film producer, this is a comedy set in the foreseeable future when everything has changed except human nature. Actors are replaced by androids. One of these 'actoids' is wrongly programmed and falls in love with a young writer. They run away together and have some hilarious but thought-provoking adventures.
