About this listen

After 40 years with his beloved wife, Henry is alone for the first time. His sudden bachelorhood is a struggle for him and his daughter Lisa, who is feeling pressure to fill the void. To give Henry the companionship he’s craving, Lisa buys him a personal robotic assistant. The device transforms Henry’s life and inspires him to embrace the possibility of romance during his golden years. This hilarious and touching play explores love, loss, and the real connection humans can have with technology - once you figure out how the heck to use it.

Additional Editing and Sound Design by Joe Dell’Aquila.

Supported by the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund.

I enjoyed the simple yet complex theme of this story. It was very human, heartwarming, sad and humorous all at the same time. Most of all it made me think and reflect. Well written.

beautiful and heartwarming
