The show was an adaptation of
Yevgeny Zamyatin's novel WE by Liz Swift. Originally written in 1920 in Russia WE is one of the earliest dystopian sci-fi stories and was the forerunner of both 1984 and Brave New World
Like these later works, it tells the story of a passionate individual pitted against the dehumanising, totalitarian state.
In WE this is the One State, led by the Benefactor.
Its citizens are numbers, their lives ruled by the Table of Hourly Commandments which regulate their lives- whether sleeping, working, eating, recreating or procreating.

The VOID adaptation was for a solo performer (Peter Ireland, as D503), video and soundtrack. It was presented at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, and toured extensively in the UK. It was also featured on the arts TV programme, NBTV.
