R. U. R. Play

Get spooky at Triton College’s production of “R.U.R.” (Russum’s Universal Robots) by Karel Čapek, Fridays and Saturdays, Nov. 8-9 and Nov. 15-16, 7-8:30 p.m., in the George R. Cox Auditorium located in the Fine Arts Building (J Building).  

The premise of the play focuses on a greedy corporation that creates robot workers to save money on labor. Eventually, the robots revolt and take over the entire planet, wiping out nearly all of humanity. Written in 1921, this play invented the term “robot.”

Entry is available with a $5 donation. Admission is free with a Triton ID.
