Walking Shadow presented the second production ever of Robots vs. Fake Robots by young LA playwright David Largman Murray. This sexy, awkward, and very funny script envisions a dark future where some humans want to be like the ruling robot class. It asks questions about what it means to be human, what we should desire, and what we're willing to give up to achieve our dreams.

It is the year 6000. All organic life has been destroyed except for a handful of humans. The world is ruled by ultra-sexy Robots who are mysterious, immortal, and ultra-sexy. Humans want to be like them, and this is sad. Some humans dress up like Robots, and some humans would give anything to become one. Half twisted comedy and half science-fiction fantasia, this new play is filled with desire, betrayal and ultra-sexy Robot dance.
