"Maintains such a firm hold on us that, until the very last blackout, we remain tantalized by the mystery!" Washington Post

The relationship between the creator and the created unfolds in the phenomenon known as the uncanny valley where Claire, a neuroscientists, works with Julian, an artificial being, on becoming human. Drawing on current research and the not-so-distant future, this spellbinding and deeply satisfying new play travels to the ethical heart of humankind's bid to outrace mortality. How far are we willing to forget, while insisting on never being forgotten?
