EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the programme for the first English production of Karel Capek's groundbreaking play, R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which was performed at St. Martins Theatre in London in 1923. The play, written in 1920, is considered a seminal work in the science fiction genre and the originator of the term "robot" as we know it today. R.U.R. tells the story of a factory that manufactures synthetic workers, or robots, to serve humanity. However, the robots eventually rebel against their human creators, leading to a catastrophic uprising. Capek's play explores universal themes of humanity, labor, and the relationship between technology and society, making it a prescient work that continues to resonate with audiences today. The English production of R.U.R. was directed by Harley Granville-Barker and featured an all-star cast, including Ivor Barnard as the inventor, Rossum, and Basil Dean as the robot, Alquist. The production received critical acclaim, with one reviewer praising it as "an extraordinary piece of work, full of startling ideas and profound implications." This programme, with its striking design and detailed cast and crew list, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the early days of modern theatre and the reception of a groundbreaking work of science fiction. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of Capek's vision and the ongoing debate about the role of technology in our lives.
