MCNEAL by Ayad Akhtar
January 22 @ 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
From the pen of Pulitzer Prize winner Ayad Akhtar comes a “brilliant and transfixing new play” about Artificial Intelligence, American ambition, and moral ambiguity.
At its center is Jacob McNeal: literary lion, Nobel Prize perennial, and a man whose brilliance is matched only by the size of his blind spots. A new novel looms. An estranged son resurfaces. Old enemies circle. And McNeal – equal parts provocateur, perfectionist, and self-mythologizer – finds himself captivated, even seduced, by the generative power of artificial intelligence. As the lines between creation and replication blur, McNeal faces a crisis both artistic and existential: What happens when the storytelling machine becomes capable of telling your story better than you can?
