A fast-paced, satirical comedy for technology lovers and haters.
Technology makes our lives easier… right? Join oldy-weds Jack and Diane as they unwittingly test this theory. Repeatedly. Mishaps and mayhem multiply as they tackle a greedy virtual assistant, a disagreeable GPS, and a no-technology camp run by misguided millennials. Through it all, Jack and Diane will fight to the death – if they must – as aggressive wildlife and unwelcome influencers continuously threaten their safety and sanity.
An interactive, physical comedy for anyone who has ever told off Alexa or Siri, urged to murder their GPS, or longed for simpler times when technology didn’t rule our daily lives. Who will prevail: our would-be heroes, or their technological foes? You be the judge.
