After learning he's on borrowed time, a man uses AI to invent a new form of currency and accidentally-on-purpose becomes a messiah for the working class.

Playwright Schwartz had this to say about the plays themes: “I wanted to write a nice play about where we are politically and socially in the world. I wanted to do a fair satire of the climate we live in and…look, I failed. I tried but I failed.” Schwartz continued: “I wish it was satire but everyone in the world is being terrible to each other, we are all addicted to and going to give in to AI, we don’t have leaders we have thugs, and so I decided not to hold back. Strangely, it is the most positive, humane and life affirming play I’ve ever done.” Schwartz also wanted to make a note: “no refunds.”
