★★★★ “Witty, incisive… could hardly be more timely” – Evening Standard

Park Theatre presents the world premiere of Disruption – a cautionary play about artificial intelligence.

What happens if we let an app make our life choices?

Andrew Stein’s sharp, unnerving thriller is a timely and insightful exploration of our tech obsessed world, starring Nathaniel Curtis (It’s A Sin, Britannicus), Oliver Alvin Wilson (Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, All of Us), Sasha Desouza-Willock (Deep Heat), Rosanna Hyland (Back to the Future, The School of Rock), Debbie Korley (I, Joan , Henry VIII), Nick Read (I Came By, The Girl on the Train), Kevin Shen (Life of Pi, Yellow Face), and Mika Simmons (Showtrial).

Disruption is now playing at the Park Theatre, until 5 August 2023.

Tech entrepreneur Nick thinks he has the answer.

After tremendous Silicon Valley success and a big exit, Nick presents his three best friends with his next big idea: an algorithm that is more complex than the human brain and promises to guide them through big life decisions better and more effectively than they can guide themselves.

In an era where every aspect of human life has been documented with data and disrupted by technology, do computers know us better than we know ourselves? And even if they do, should we listen?
