I just spotted a poster for this downtown: Carleton University's Sock N Buskin Theatre is putting on Karel Capek's classic 1920's SF play R.U.R. Ah, my theatre-going tendencies and my SF geek tendencies finally mesh. This is terrific.
The play runs this weekend and next - Jan 18-20 and 25-27; it's only $12 ($8 if you're a student.)
Clipped this from Where.ca/Ottawa:
R.U.R.
Androids and automatons created in factories are the stars of this sci-fi play by Karel Capek, the title of which stands for "Rossum's Universal Robots." An interesting fact: premiering in 1921, this play is famous for introducing—and popularizing—the term 'robot'.
