AI vs The Luddites

June 22 @ 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm

£5
A man smashing a laptop with a hammer, a robot looking on. In the background is a blackboard full of mathematical equations and text stating: No general Ludd means the poor any good

The Red Shed Players, inspired by the Clarion Movement’s motto “Fellowship is all,” are a Wakefield-based activist, theatre collective.

AI vs the Luddites takes you through time, revealing how profit-driven progress tramples social and environmental justice. Politicians serve the wealthy, peaceful dissenters are jailed, and violent mobs are pardoned. The past lives in the present as we move at pace into the use of new technologies, but what does that actually mean to us, out freedom and our environment. “It’s disinformation technology generating Artificial Stupidity, not Artificial Intelligence.” — Jackie, Café Owner. This show will make you laugh, sing, and think.
