Rogue Machine's new season premieres with the North American debut of Lauren Gunderson’s anthropology, directed by John Perrin Flynn. The play follows Merril, a Silicon Valley software engineer, whose life spirals out of control after her sister Angie disappears. Desperate for answers, she constructs a digital simulation of her sister, which leads her to uncover unsettling truths about Angie's fate. This high-stakes AI thriller explores themes of perception, truth, and the limits of technology in personal relationships.
