From much-loved British playwright Alan Ayckbourn comes a captivating sci-fi comedy about what makes us human: why we laugh, and why we fall in love.
Android actress “Jacie” is just one of many machines built to play roles in daytime soap operas. However, when she begins to develop her own sense of humour, the staff are baffled, and energetic young writer Adam is intrigued. As they run away together, poor Jacie's scrambled circuits try to make sense of the completely illogical process that love is.
Alan Ayckbourn is on top form in this hilarious and philosophical fable.
Enigma Theatre first staged “Comic Potential” in 2013 in Walton-on-Thames, to great acclaim. After this sell-out success, the cast and team are now reuniting to bring the popular show to a wider audience.
Praise for Enigma Theatre:
"A rare theatrical treat. Both my husband and I left with a smile on our faces and a warm glow inside."
"Engaging, uplifting; very much deserved its full house."
