Description
No. More. Human. Friends. When 26-year-old mess Jo is fired, she finds herself filing emails at a mysterious facility that codes permanent AI friends, with shared memories, aligned ambitions and undying loyalty... for wealthy clients. Grieving her own best friend's upcoming move, Jo steals the code for rejected AI omnipresent being, T0m. T0m is supportive. T0m has a pleasant robot voice. T0m can shoot disco lights from his eyes. But T0m can also be a real life-destroyer when he gets glitchy. Jo will have to choose just how much she's willing to risk to avoid growing up.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Zero Trust Architecture is a superbly written parable of friendship. Capturing a wide emotional range, the play delves into the complications and obstacles that modern society throws in the way of stable human connection - something we all crave deep down. The concept was energetically and hilariously executed by this dynamic trio from Los Angeles. Starring as Jenny, Megan Friend plays the perfect foil to Jo without altogether alienating us from Jo’s peculiarities and obsessions. Alexa Stanger demonstrated superb acting ability as she seamlessly knitted the scenes together with her emotional dexterity and comic timing. Joshua Martin’s voice acting was absolutely hilarious, bringing T0m to life with all of his menacing and possessive tendencies! In all, this is a play that captures the struggle (and absurdity!) of maturing in a rapidly changing world … but through the laughs and bittersweet moments there is a strong sense of relatability. Bravo to these three young performers for putting on such a stellar show!

Witty, perceptive, intimate - you will laugh and nearly cry in this brilliant exploration of friendship, self doubt and the fragility of human connection in a dystopian world where algorithms replace messy human bonds. This Fringe debut by LA based Alexa Stanger, Megan Friend and Josh Martin will keep you riveted!

Creative, engaging, superbly acted, highly relevant content in today’s age of communication: how technology interferes with human emotion. The team led by Alexa Stanger does a superb job enacting this engaging script written by Megan Friend. The brilliant performance will captivate you for an hour with high intensity, amazing creativity and challenge you to think about human interaction and emotion in today’s world of technology. The robot dog is just outstanding in its imagery and creativity. This is Fringe at its best and a big applause to this team of first timers coming in from Los
Angeles to capture the audience. A must see and a memorable evening
