World Premiere

San Francisco Playhouse's 2019/20 season comes to an end with this Sandbox Series world premiere from Nate Eppler, presented at the Custom Made Theatre. 

An intriguing and timely exploration of grief and mourning in the digital age, Primary User centers on the creator of a highly intelligent chatbot that unintentionally becomes his own digital monument following his sudden death. To those left behind, this act of preservation becomes a tricky issue, as each of his loved ones are forced to confront the ghost in the machine.

Haunting, humorous and powerful, Primary User analyses our perception of life, death, and legacy in the face of ever-widening technological boundaries.
