The Great War has just ended. The fledgling Republic of Czechoslovakia, under its first elected President, boasts a thriving artistic and intellectual community.

At the center of that community is the celebrated playwright Karel Čapek, a passionate advocate for all his newborn nation can achieve. But the brave new world arrives faster than Karel could have ever expected when a young woman walks into his life with a strange mannequin in a wheelchair… a mannequin that gets up and moves all by itself. 

Universal Robots offers a compelling, alternate history of the Twentieth Century, imagining the invention of the robot in 1921 and chronicling the shocking consequences of that invention right up to the present day.

Quantum Dragon Theatre,
the Bay Area's premiere science-fiction/ fantasy theatre company, presents Mac Rogers' Universal Robots, inspired by the classic science-fiction play R.U.R (Rossum’s Universal Robots) by Karel Čapek.
