Read Daniel Skora on Puzzle Piece’s R.U.R.
By Daniel Skora
“The Robots are coming! The Robots are coming!” Actually, the Robots are already here and you can see them at the Puzzle Piece Theatre in “R.U.R”, a play that’s not only highly entertaining, but one that has some historical significance as well. R.U.R. stands for Rossum’s Universal Robots, a fictitious company that makes artificial biological organisms that look human (robots) out of protoplasmic-like chemicals. Because R.U.R.’s robots require neither food nor rest, they are the perfect machine for providing cheap labor to industrial companies around the world.
