The Public Domain Players Presents...
Rossum's Universal Robots (R.U.R.)
Directed by Olivia Bievenue
The factory managers are delighted to welcome you to Rossum's Universal Robots (R.U.R.) for an extended tour of our robotics factory and island facilities! As the foremost manufacturers of robotic technology, we are at the cutting edge of advanced labor technologies solutions. We hope this visit will help you understand the service we are providing the world, and will dispel any worrisome notions you may have about robotic revolt! As our general manager, Harriet Domin, says, "The Robots work for us!"
