So we're writing/making a musical about a robot...

And this is where we can tell you all about it.

The blurb:

The Seductobot
Fringe Festival 2011

Beth is a socially inept scientist, in love with her best friend Trevor. Trevor is a philosophy student, in love with a cafe worker named Darlene, who he's never spoken to. Darlene is an opportunistic gold-digger, intent on getting her hooks into Stefan, a lawyer who frequents the cafe. Stefan is self-obsessed, morally questionable and not above using his good looks to get what he wants.

When Beth creates Sylvie, a humanoid robot programmed for seduction, in a misguided attempt to get rid of her feelings for Trevor, she sets off a chain of events that turn everyone's lives upside down. Featuring a pair of sarcastic stuffed toys, a potentially dangerous laser beam and plenty of explosions, 'The Seductobot' is a show about unrequited love, questionable decisions, tangled relationships and robots. 


So that's our show, and we have 5 months to pull it off. Wish us luck!
