Win tickets to ELIZA’s Adventures in the Uncanny Valley and a stay at the four-star Morgan Hotel, Dublin, on October 3

-

Pan Pan presents ELIZA’s Adventures in the Uncanny Valley at Samuel Beckett Theatre, Trinity College, Dublin from October 3 to 7 as part of Dublin Theatre Festival. MIT in Boston developed software in the early ’60s, called ELIZA, a reference to George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion. It seemed to make conversati­on between human and computer possible, but the machine’s intelligen­t responses turned out to be a trick – it was all scripted. So how can a robot now write poetry? An Eliza is sent to a motel, where she interacts with four characters who are all mysterious­ly booked into the same room. They explore love, death, metaphysic­s, evil and evolution. panpanthea­tre.com

The newly revamped Morgan Hotel is one of Dublin’s favourite luxury city centre hotels. Situated in the heart of Temple Bar, you will enjoy the quiet ambience and sophistica­ted style, while the bustling city is on your doorstep.

Using the freshest produce from local suppliers, together with elegant lighting and couture seating, it is the ideal setting for a refined dining experience.
