Girl in the Machine

'A sinister story of love and addiction that revisits age old themes whilst thrusting them into a dystopian digital future... thanks to Smith’s cut to the chase dialogue, the horrors of what that could ultimately entail is are viscerally realised'

* Edinburgh Evening News *

'Haunting and prescient... Smith invests this world with a rare intensity... there is a solid emotional base to the piece; it has a real authenticity, while the encroaching technological nightmare rings horribly true'

* The Stage *

'A gripping two-hander, a piece of dystopian sci-fi in the manner of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror... takes our present-day unease about the intrusiveness of technology and pushes it a step into the future... a high-stakes, will-she-won’t-she battle that keeps us on edge throughout'

* Guardian *

'Resembles an episode of dystopian TV series Black Mirror, but with a poetic heart worthy of Ray Bradbury at his warmest... a show that hums and throbs through its plea for the flesh and blood messiness of life over the delusions provided by virtual pleasures during increasingly sour times'

* Herald *

'An exploration of the role of technology in modern life and its potentially dehumanising effects… interesting and current'
