This AI thriller is a profoundly human story exploring themes of grief, connection, and the illusion of control we have over our own technological creations.
Merril is one of Silicon Valley’s leading softwear engineers, but her life disintegrates when her younger sister Angie vansihes on her way home from college. A year later, when the police have long abandoned their search, Merril assembles all the digital simulation of her sister. The resultant “virtual Angie” offers her some solace – until it starts to reveal new details about the real Angie’s disappearance.
A moving exploration of the intersection of family, technology, and legacy, anthropology is the timely new play from award-winning playwright, Lauren Gunderson.
