How to Build a Gate is Electra Artemis' newest comedy: "As far as Liza’s concerned, there is no point in doing anything unless you’re the best. So, when she’s tapped to develop a new advanced AI, she won’t be satisfied unless it’s the finest around. But when her project surpasses expectations, ethical dilemmas bring Liza’s ambitions into question."

Fresh off a successful New Zealand tour, How to Build a Gate has garnered praise for its relevance in today’s world. Theatreview’s review of the production calls it "a story for our time," highlighting its exploration of ethical dilemmas and sharp, timely commentary on ambition and technology. The show features New Zealand actor Kate Low as Liza and Megan Piggott as Hal.
