Review: THE ADDING MACHINE from The Feast—BroadwayWorld Seattle

By Jay Irwin

The machines are coming for our livelihoods, Dear Readers.  That was the fear a century ago with the 1923 play “The Adding Machine” by Elmer Rice.  And that sentiment still holds true today with many terrified of the advancements of Artificial Intelligence or AI.  And that’s what this new production “The Adding Machine: A Cyborg Morality Play” from The Feast (formerly The Williams Project) capitalizes on, creating a thoughtful and timely bent on a classic.
