The Adding Machine – UW Drama @ Jones Playhouse (Seattle – U-District)

In this unique adaptation of The Adding Machine, the unremarkable Mr. Zero, an accountant, is unexpectedly replaced by an adding machine. What follows is a series of remarkable events during and after his life that are outside of his control — or are they? In this devised adaptation, director Ryan Purcell and student artists will examine the present-day emergence of artificial intelligence in the context of Rice’s prescient expressionistic classic of the 1920s.

A new devised adaptation, directed by Ryan Guzzo Purcell. Based on the play by Elmer Rice.
