The Trial of Romeo Oscar
In space no one can hear you dream. In the year 2194, humanity is scattered around the solar system and day-to-day life on earth looks very different. Preparations are underway for a landmark legal case. Romeo Oscar, a military issue android, is on trial for murder. The first non-human to be tried in a court of law. The circumstances surrounding the incident are unclear, the evidence is polarising and selecting an impartial jury is proving a challenge. Alan Ayckbourn’s latest play is a court-room drama exploring a question that artists have been pursuing for centuries – what makes us human?
