Hold on to your pantaloons, artificial intelligence connoisseurs! I have used an algorithm known as GPT-2 to create brand new dramatic works, spanning multiple styles and hundreds of years. New episodes uploaded every other Thursday.

Q: What is this? 
A: A brand new series created by avant-garde YouTuber extraordinaire Lazy At Churches, aka Jovial Jellyfish, aka Zachary Schulte, aka Lush Yacht Craze, aka Nardwuar Junior.

Q: Why does this exist?
A: This project inverts Maurice Maeterlinck's ‘theatre of androids' and Oskar Schlemmer's ‘universal regisseur', both of which see the performer as an obstacle to dramatic truth as defined by a playwright or director. These dead white men preferred marionettes over flesh and blood actors! 

The technique of writing with a neural network renders the playwright as obstacle instead. Actors are no longer regulated to mere automatons, rather these computer-generated monologues call for transfiguration through the breath, voice, and presence of a living performer.

Q: When are the episodes?
A: Expect new episodes uploaded every other Thursday.

Q: Beep boop?
A: Boop beep.

Q: Computre?! Computer.
A: Theater?! Theatre. Or does it matter?
