A LOVE story starring a state-of-the-art robot comes to Salisbury Playhouse as part of Theatre FestWest.
Pipeline Theatre’s Spillikin (a love story) comes to The Salberg on Friday, February 24.
Featuring a state-of-the-art “RoboThespian”, the production follows the story of a woman with Alzheimer’s living with a robot companion.
It premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe to outstanding critical and audience response, including a nomination for the prestigious Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award.
It is the 1970s. Sally likes Debbie Harry, Raymond likes making robots; they’re an unlikely pair.
Fifty years later, after a long, childless and sometimes bumpy marriage, Sally has Alzheimer’s.
Before Raymond died he created a robot, uploaded with his memories, to keep her company.
Spillikin poses big questions about love, death, and technology.
Spillikin (a love story) is in The Salberg for one night only and is recommended for those aged 14 years and over.
