Good Day

A darkly comic new play that looks at what it means to be human when our mortality is removed, and when thoughts and emotions can be mimicked by AI. The production combines spoken dialogue, movement, and video - including creative captions - to provide a provocative and humorous examination of the limits of humanity and technology and what happens when the two collide.

We would like to thank Arts Council England for making this project possible.

“Sleekly directed by Marlie Haco, there are so many things to admire, from... [the] sophisticated staging to the choreography and visual elements.”

— Arifa Akbar, the Guardian

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - All That Dazzles

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - First Night Magazine

“Near-perfectly executed…It’s hard to map out such a major question with such clarity, harder still to make it funny and nuanced.” | The Reviews Hub
“Marlie Haco’s direction is dynamic…the production value is truly striking.” | Broadway World
"Futurist scene transitions featuring the odd moment of physical theatre excite…[and] a horizontal LED screen makes the play accessible by captioning every conversation…The insight into the looming digital reality of Mor2Life creates just the right ambience.” | London Theatre Reviews
