Bond Street Theatre's The Mechanical transplants the outcast creature from Mary Shelley's novel ?Frankenstein? into the true story of a sensational chess-playing robot built in the late 18th century. The robot was a novelty that amazed royalty, foreshadowed computers, and duped the public by its clever mechanisms and concealed human assistant. Using multi-media, puppetry and the physical and musical abilities of the actors of the Bond Street Theatre ensemble, the production will explore an age of revolutions ? political, social, scientific and industrial ? and the current, volatile crossings of science and religion, with insights into today?s exiles, refugees, and trafficked humans.
