Constant Companions
By Alan Ayckbourn Are Machines Better Than Humans?
Constant Companions By Alan Ayckbourn Are machines better than humans? Definitely yes, says lawyer Lorraine after falling in love with the android JAN60: Finally, a man who never contradicts her and, on top of that, is great in bed—especially since he doesn’t age. Don, on the other hand, being single, decides to order a sex robot right away, but ignores the instruction manual, which leads to his apartment being left in shambles. Meanwhile, Winston, an IT expert, develops romantic feelings for the automated housekeeper ED5, without realizing that she is cleverly taking advantage of him. Disappointed by their “real” contemporaries and seduced by the possibilities of AI, Alan Ayckbourn’s characters become entangled in relationships that soon begin to show serious flaws.
