Copycat is written and performed by Joe Sellman-Leava, developed with and directed by Katharina Reinthaller, and designed by Dylan Howells. The show explores imitation, AI, creativity, and democracy through impressions of Big Tech overlords, former teachers, and celebrities. Drawing on personal experience of AI disrupting the work of screenwriters and artists, it connects professional uncertainty to wider societal disruption caused by technological change. Set in a school in the mid-noughties, the show examines how Big Tech CEOs are reshaping society, politics, and reality itself.
