Owen and Polly are in successful careers, wildly in love and ready to take on the world. But when a mysterious new technology, promising a break from the daily grind, creeps into everyone’s phones, their world is turned upside down. As the line between physical and digital dissipates, Owen and Polly are forced to question whether their definitions of reality and freedom are the same. ‘Placing your hope in humanity is a very dangerous thing.’ ‘Perhaps it’s a brave thing? Because freedom isn’t digital.’ REVIEWS OF THE 2022 TOUR: ‘…a powerful theatre performance…a tight and disturbing show that is a modern Play For Today,’ - North East Theatre Guide ‘Packs a poserful punch...Award-winning writer Stef Smith at her unexampled best with this veracious dissection of modern relationships in a technology-obsessed world.’ - NARC Magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c8c55c48d7062bfb90b10c/1725132296380-0I93X7JPFA65IRX7RL88/The+Cultural+Spring+Logo.png Shows - GIRL IN THE MACHINE by Stef Smith https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c8c55c48d7062bfb90b10c/1739891461564-61AM67G0ZNY919ZOZ57M/flippin+pain.png Shows - GIRL IN THE MACHINE by Stef Smith https://www.theatrespace.org.uk/shows/redriding2025 monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c8c55c48d7062bfb90b10c/99fedc77-2f9c-4462-ba07-06b688275e97/TSNE+Christmas+2025+-+Flyer+Front.png Shows - Little Red Riding Hood (12-23 Dec 2025) - Synopsis Little Red Riding Hood by Jamie Brown A fresh, feisty twist on a forest tale that will have all ages howling this December!
