The Nova Effect: 2124

Written and directed by Bradley Thompson
in collaboration with 20 Stories High Youth Theatre

100 years from now – what’s left?

“Don’t press that big red button!”

“I pressed the big red button.”

When Mr Peter’s science class accidentally travels 100 years into the future, they end up in a world where the line between human and robot is blurred. 

 

This tech world glitters with bright new gadgets and the class is buzzing to explore!

 

But between annoying AdBots, daily reports of extreme weather, and extinctions, something’s not quite right. 

 

Will the class make it home? Are robots and humans all that different? What does it mean to be human?

 

Join 20 Stories High Youth Theatre for a funny adrenaline-driven adventure with lots of live music, movement, and drama! Supported by Unity Theatre.

 

Content notice:
This show tackles some pretty big topics: the climate crisis and how it changes our world, the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Intelligence, and there are some moments of peril and loss. That being said, it’s a show about humanity, friendship, and so much more!
