A patient on suicide watch is monitored by an AI bot. The machine provides therapy and companionship to lonely man in a desperate situation. A darkly comic portrayal of the interactions between humans and machines that are becoming commonplace in all our lives. Despite the humour on the surface, this short one act play prods the AI toad that sits on all our desks and inhabits our devices. Witty and relevant, this new production is a must-see for all modern humans.
