A short clip from the Overtime Theater’s production of “Rossum’s Universal Robots” Opening June 18 at the Overtime Theater, RUR: Rossum’s Universal Robots is a new adaptation of Czech writer Karel Capek’s prophetic 1921 play that gave birth to modern sci-fi and introduced the word “robot” to the world’s lexicon. At its island factory, Rossum’s Universal Robots makes the cheapest, strongest labor force you can find; the best bio-mechanical robots for your every need. They’re so good, they even look human! But when a beautiful young revolutionary arrives with notions of robot liberation, she is greeted by RUR’s managers who assure her that robots are soulless and indifferent to humanity’s cause. However, her idealistic views plant the seeds of a revolution that proves just how dangerously human robots can be. Even though this play was first performed in 1921, it still resonates with contemporary audiences, and science-fiction writers continue to draw inspiration from it. For example, Joss Whedon’s recent TV show “Dollhouse” paid homage to Capek’s play by naming the fictional corporate headquarters after Rossum. This new, multimedia interpretation of the classic play was adapted by Roy Thomas. David Stone-Robb will direct, and Ben Scharff will be assistant director and stage manager. David Stone-Robb has been an actor and director in San Antonio for three years. He also serves as the Artistic Director of the San Antonio Shakespeare Company. The cast of RUR: Rossum’s …

The Outer Limits is an American television series that aired on ABC from 1963 to 1965. Similar in style to the earlier The Twilight Zone with more science fiction than fantasy stories, The Outer Limits is an anthology of discrete story episodes, sometimes with a plot twist at the end. The first 32 episodes of the original series, comprising the entire first season, are available on Hulu. Each show would begin with a cold open, followed by narration by someone identifying himself as the Control Voice, which was played over visuals of an oscilloscope. Many episodes used one of two shortened versions of this introduction. The first few episodes began simply with the title screen followed by the narration and no cold open. The Outer Limits originally was broadcast from 1963 to 1965 on the US television broadcasting network ABC; in total, 49 episodes. It was one of many series influenced by The Twilight Zone and Science Fiction Theatre, though it ultimately proved influential in its own right. In the un-aired pilot, the series was called Please Stand By, but ABC rejected that title. Series creator Leslie Stevens retitled it The Outer Limits. With a few changes, the pilot aired as the premiere episode, “The Galaxy Being”. Writers for The Outer Limits included creator Stevens and Joseph Stefano (screenwriter of Hitchcock’s Psycho), who was the series’ first-season producer and creative guiding force. Stefano wrote more episodes than any other writer for the show. Future Oscar …
