Man v Machine is a battle between art and artificial intelligence. You provide the prompts, as well as a safe and replaceable prop, and we will deliver two different performances.
The first - Man - is a traditionally-improvised, long-form show using nothing but our wits and your prop and suggestions.
The second - Machine - is a play generated by AI, performed one night only for you, based on the same prompts
The audience votes on which is the better show at the end. See below for past shows and a running score!
