FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

Comic Potential

By Alan Ayckbourn
Directed by Joan Goodwin
24th March – 1st April 2006 at 8:00pm

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.
