The Trial of Romeo Oscar by Alan Ayckbourn 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? Dates: Fri 04, Sat 05, Mon 07, Tue 08, Wed 09, Thu 10, Fri 11, Sat 12, Tue 15, Wed 16, Thu 17, Fri 18, Sat 19, Tue 22, Wed 23, Thu 24, Fri 25, Sat 26, Tue 29, Wed 30 Booking and More Information
