Taut as a thriller and tender as a love story, Anthropology fuses grief, suspense and cutting-edge ideas into a pulse-quickening night at the theatre

Anthropology is a razor-sharp, pulse-quickening drama for our data-obsessed age. When a tech prodigy loses her sister, she does the unthinkable: she builds an AI trained on voice notes, texts and posts to bring her back – only for the algorithm to start revealing secrets the family never dared to ask. As the code learns, so do we, in a gripping investigation of grief, memory and the stories we upload to survive. Part thriller, part love letter to the messy, human heart, Anthropology asks: if a machine can finish our sentences, who owns the ending? Come for the twisty plot; stay for the audacious ideas, crackling dialogue and a finale that lingers long after you leave the theatre. Smart, emotional and startlingly current, this is the play everyone will be talking about in the foyer. Book early to witness the future – brave, flawed and unmistakably human – come to life on stage in real time.
