Uncaged Theatre presents:
Glitch
Four comedies from a world on the blink
A collection of short plays and excerpts written by early-career playwrights from the South-West of England, where comedy, chaos and culture collide on stage. These stories crack open the systems we live in and laugh at the very structures that shape us.The Bus Stop by Patrick LargeIt is mid-morning at a bus stop, and two young men in their twenties from very different backgrounds find themselves sitting next to each other: one with a trust fund haircut, and one with a love for winding up the poshos. Will they connect? Will they debate? No chance.God Is Dead by Joe BrooksGod is dead, washed up on the beach at Weston-super-Mare. It soon becomes clear that this is murder: murder most metaphysical. Detective Inspector Taylor and PC Blake are drawing up the list of suspects. They come to their prime suspect, but can they bring the fallen angel in for questioning?The Authors by Jamillah KnowlesAs Benja struggles to seduce a muse through alcohol and isolation, their flatmates Dex and Rikki have different ideas about how they craft the narratives of their lives. Is art really pain? Does anyone care if the scripts on a foot fetishist’s subscription site are generated using AI?End of the World by Geraint HughesA hilarious and thought-provoking Kubrick / Stoppard / Tarantino mash-up on our relationship with Artificial Intelligence. Are we all complicit in letting AI shape our cultural, political, and environmental landscape? Will we continue to let it displace human creativity and original thought, or does the fight back start here? It’s a rollercoaster ride!
