The Android Circuit: Script Reading directed by Tam Dean Burn

Inspired by the work of Isaac Asimov, Phillip K. Dick and Edwin Morgan, and breaking free of the trend for realism and masculinity in Scottish theatre at the time, McGrath stepped into the science fiction arena with The Android Circuit, first produced by The Traverse Theatre in 1978.

At EIFF 2017, his innovative play finally travels full circle, returning to a Traverse stage, on which it debuted an astonishing thirty-nine years ago, in a new reading directed by Tam Dean Burn.
