Non-spoiler review.
The Golem is a figure from Jewish mythology – an animated clay figure that carries out the commands of its master. Modern day equivalents can be seen in our use of technology in everyday life to make our lives easier. But what if this was reversed? What if something intended to help us, such as technology, shapes even dictates our behaviour, preferences and personality? The idea we are becoming slaves to technology and it’s affecting our lives badly has previously well articulated, a recent example including the Black Mirror television series. The 1927 theatre company takes up this question in their touring production of Golem. The play combines live action with animated film.
