R.U.R
by Karel Capek
in a new version by Niclas Olson


On an island paradise, a small company has developed a new type of machine in the shape of a human being. They’ve decided to call them “robots.” As the world becomes more and more reliant on the low-cost labor provided by the robots, Helena Glory makes plans to explore the manufacturing process and ensure proper treatment for this new form of life. The definition of existence is argued and turned about as the robots are manufactured at such a rate that they will eventually threaten the future of humanity itself. Robots of the world! The power of man has fallen! A new world rises! The age of the Robots! March! ​

​Presented entirely through video-conferences, Niclas Olson's timely adaptation of this groundbreaking sci-fi saga is a moving treatise on corporate greed, innovation and the dangers of human ambition. (5M, 3W, 4 M or F)

R.U.R had its world premiere on August 30, 2020 in a streaming performance by New Muses Theatre Company. It was directed by Niclas Olson.
