Originally staged in 1923 this darkly comic tale forecasts the dangers of a mechanised, dehumanised society and remains today a timeless testimony that, when unchecked, corporate culture can wear away the human soul. Rice's nightmare vision concerns itself with Mr. Zero, a number cruncher for an anonymous store, who is replaced by an Adding Machine after 25 years of loyal service. In a fit of rage he murders his boss and is subsequently imprisoned, tried and executed. But his story doesn't end there. He journeys into the afterlife only to discover the unpleasant truth about himself, as well as the disturbing news that he must be reincarnated and do it all again.T354336639Company Rogue State Theatre Company.
