RoboWrite! the ai playwright From the brains of every writer published online, comes a script the actors have never seen. Every night a new cast of actors perform a script live on stage, with a twist... the script was written and edited by AI! We asked generative AI to write a 1 hour stage adaptation of a well-known text for 4 actors and a narrator. We took that script, ran it through an AI editor, and hit print. Each day the amazing talent performing around Fringe will read them for the first time, live on stage, for you! Been a while since English class? Our narrator gives a brief synopsis, but for the best experience we suggest reading the SparkNotes or watching the movie first 20/3 - Oliver Twist 21/3 - Romeo & Juliet 22/3 4pm - Dracula 22/3 9pm - AUDIENCE PICK (voting & winner on our socials) 23/3 - Pride & Prejudice Genre: Theatre and Physical Theatre, Rating: PG, Family Friendly: No Content Warnings: Mild Occasional Coarse Language
