Fresh from a debut run at the Pleasance, Edinburgh Fringe 2021, Eugene comes to the Lawrence Batley Theatre.

Eugene is a performance featuring an anthropomorphic powerpoint, capturing the impacts of technology, and what happens when we give it the power over us. Think The Terminator does a Ted Talk with Steve Jobs.

In the not too distant future, millionaire and inventor (think Elon Musk with a further attitude problem) Hugh from Hu-Bris industries is launching the first superhuman artificial intelligence at a press conference. And you’re invited.

A comedy theatre show that comes with integrated captioning via The Difference Engine, Eugene delivers part of the story through your smart device, meaning that every performance is deaf friendly.
