 This play was unbearably dull. I understand it might have been cutting edge 105 years ago, but now it is predictable. The mix of trying to update it with a laptop computer but old fashioned clothing, etc was confusing. And why did the lead actor use the hard to understand accent that varied from maybe German to British? Why not just speak clearly with no fake accent?

 Interesting story. Some of the acting was good, other acting not as good. At times there appeared to be "overacting" and the abrupt shouting at times was surprising. I know a lot of work goes into a play on everybody's part and everyone does the best that they can!

 The play was awesome. The actors were engaging and animated. I like how the director arranged the story and how the stage was used. The robots also looked great.

 Rossums was thought provoking, dramatic, and everything Jason Wyatt promised and more. The first act builds an intricate world, interesting characters and breaks just in time for you to digest everything you've learned before returning for a very climactic ending. An excellent debut! Congratulations to the cast and crew for an amazing job!

 It was a very difficult piece to present to an audience, and the director did well. But... difficult to hear the main character and understand his words. Spoke too fast. The cast did what they could but it just wasn't our cup of tea. Sci-fi is not for everyone and we knew coming in it would be iffy for us. Stage was cleverly done.

 Acting was great, but story line was hard to believe. My husband is a big Sci-Fi fan and he loved it!

 Not my favorite. Could not understand lead actor’s voice. Left at intermission.

 Attended RUR production 3/30/25. Did not enjoy at all. It was so hard to hear the main character and others as well. The one who spoke loud and clear was grandma and also the short guy with Grey hair. We spent $84 for us and our guests we treated and all of us felt disappointed at its conclusion.

 My husband and I enjoyed this performance! The dynamics among the cast members really brought the story together. We were amazed to learn the play was written 105 years ago and marveled how relevant it was to the world we live in today.

 Cast members should have had individual microphones. Cannot recommend.

 Rossum's Universal Robots (RUR) is a timely story written over a hundred years ago. It's about a world serviced by robots (the term was created by Joseph Kapek, the brother of the playwright, Karel Capek. It's derived from the Czech word robota, which means forced labor).

 Excellent opening night! I am a 30 year NYC Broadway person and this is right there with the best. Lovely snow scene. Great young and old performers. If one donates when are programs updated and do donors help out?

 This one was a bit different from the ones we've seen at this theater. It wasn't our favorite. However, we left thinking about the paradox that it represents, and the actors did a great job!

 Great Show! Still very relevant for today's world. A must see! There were a few hiccups though (which is not unusual for opening night). The wing curtains need to be moved. Remember, if you can see the audience, they can see you. And it would have helped if there had been costume changes every time time passed. If you missed the note in the program about something being 10 years later, it looked like it was later that day because everyone was wearing the same clothes!
