Uncanny Valley

Uncanny Valley

International City Theatre
330 East Seaside Way Long Beach

If recent hits Ex Machina and Morgan are any indication, humans are getting closer than ever to developing lifelike robots with artificial intelligence -- or at least developing full-blown paranoia about its implications. In Uncanny Valley, Thomas Gibbons' thought-provoking new play at International City Theatre, researchers have developed a means of extending the human lifespan through A.I. But as Claire, a neuroscientist, charts her relationship with a non-biological human named Julian, a painful divide is discovered. Ultimately, Claire must come face to face with her creation -- and is shocked to discover just who's staring back at her. No children under age 7. Tickets required of all attendees regardless of age.
