Comic Potential

Playbill Nov 2000 - Manhattan Theatre Club

Comic Potential by Alan Ayckbourn is a romantic sci-fi comedy play. It is set in a TV studio in the foreseeable future, when low-cost androids (known as "actoids") have largely replaced actors.  The play was Ayckbourn's second exploration into science fiction, the first being Henceforward... This play originated from the idea that the ability to laugh and the ability to fall in love are both characteristics that differentiate humans from androids, as both are illogical from an objective viewpoint, thus raising the question as to whether either of the actions in an android would be considered a malfunction. The comedy also explores the Pygmalion syndrome and competing desires for autonomy and certainty.

Cast: Alexander Chaplin, John Curless, Janie Dee, MacIntyre Dixon, Carson Elrod, Peter Michael Goetz, Mercedes Herrero, Robin Moseley, Kristine Nielsen, Kellie overbey

Directed by John Tillinger
