Scriptography productions is a new writing company based in Aberystwyth. We are presenting out first full length play, To Kill a Machine, by Catrin Flur Huws at Aberystwyth Arts Centre on November 28th followed by an unplugged performance in the Sherman Cymru foyer on the 29th.
The play is about the wartime code-breaker Alan Turing, whose pioneering work considered whether a machine could think.
If a machine can think, what then is the difference between a human and a machine? And if a human is prevented from thinking, does he then become a machine?
At the heart of the play is a powerful love story which questions the meaning of humanity, and the importance of freedom. The play commemorates the centenary of Alan Turing's birth and considers how these questions are played out in relation to his own life and death.
The play was originally developed as part of Aberystwyth Arts Centre and Sherman Cymru’s Spread the Word project for emerging writers.
The performance was developed and produced as part of Aberystwyth Arts Centre’s Open Platform scheme.
We are looking for four male actors of varying ages. Rehearsals will take place from November 12th.
In addition we are looking for actors to workshop the play on Sunday 7th October, 10-6. The workshop will take place in Aberystwyth but transport is available from Cardiff.
If you are interested in either or both please contact me at scriptographyproductions@gmail.com
