Karl Capek’s 1921 expressionistic drama-satire about scientists manufacturing humanoids to perform mankind’s most menial tasks has long been hailed as one of Czechoslovakia’s greatest plays.  The theme of total technology in civilization and its many implications is still highly appropriate for contemporary audiences.
