War and environmental catastrophes have made life unbearable. Earth’s remaining population must invest in AI technology known as IONA. No famine, no disease, and relatively enjoyable sex life; Alex and Murphy live in the perfect virtual world. As IONA’s programming unravels, deeply buried desires are unearthed, lost memories return and binary life collapse. From lush fields to scorching deserts to pure desolation, this bold new play explores religion, morality, and sexuality. A queer sci-fi thriller from debut writer Sam Pout (read his fascinating QX feature) and features in Omnibus Theatre’s first-ever AI Festival.
