DEATH, LET ME DO MY SHOW
Off-Broadway: Lucille Lortel Theatre
Written by Rachel Bloom
Directed by Seth Barrish

Off-Broadway: Theatre For A New Audience @ Polonsky Shakespeare Center
Written by Annie Dorsen
Directed by Annie Dorsen

In ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus stole the gods’ fire to give it to humans—sparking sudden and dramatic advances in technology and the arts, and dramatic new sources of conflict. His story is told in the 2,500-year-old Prometheia trilogy attributed to Aeschylus, of which only Prometheus Bound remains in full. In Prometheus Firebringer, Dorsen uses the predictive text model GPT-3 to generate speculative versions of the missing story. Each night a chorus of AI-generated Greek masks performs a different iteration, while Dorsen engages the audience in reflections on power, knowledge, and doubt.
