Burien Actors Theatre (BAT) is giving away 28 FREE tickets to their performance this Saturday, Feb. 28 of R.U.R. (“Rossum’s Universal Robots”). 

Written by Karel Čapek in 1920 and adapted by Taylor Davis, this brilliant satire examines what could happen when robots free humans to pursue “…things such as perfecting themselves rather than toiling long days just for bread.” With sharp wit, provocative ideas, and eerie relevance to today’s AI boom, Čapek’s prescient masterpiece is a cautionary tale. R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) contains some adult content, and gunshots.
