Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore the intersection of science-fiction with the stage throughout the plays of Alan Ayckbourn. His plays reveal a profound influence of the cinema when staging futuristic plots and characters, as well as by numerous time shifts. Moreover, Ayckbourn’s latest plays resort to performing androids in an attempt to legitimate technology as a means to improve mankind. Iwill conclude by stating that such time shifts, multiple locations and the performance of state-of-the-art technology transcend mere spatial utopias to suggest an investigation in the potentialities of theatrical representation and a re-evaluation of the classical stage.
