Reviews
“There’s plenty of ideas to unpack in this hour-long social commentary”
Janet French, Edmonton Journal
“In Artisanal Intelligence we’re introduced to Barry, a robot played with uncanny physical prowess by Drew Carlson from Vancouver’s Spec Theatre as her inventor, played by Hannah Everett, touts the benefits of Barry as a replacement for chronically undependable employees. The dialogue is inventive and fast-paced as Barry becomes self aware and distracted by a growing affection for a coffee grinder in this comedy with social commentary punctuated by songs.”
