PAPER HUMAN is the story of the very first algorithm. Based on real events in the mid 20th century this tale of data grabbing for political influence, has never been more relevant. TANGLED ROOTS: Clasping to memories gone past while confusion and old age makes it difficult to remember where home is.

About the event
Join our online reading on Zoom in which participants will be invited to read the play or just listen from the comfort of their own home. The reading will be followed by a thought sharing session and opportunity to ask the writer about their work.
We expect the session to take up to 2.5/3 hours with an interval.
PAPER HUMAN by Stephen Connolly
Two near-identical stories play out on stage simultaneously. Two female civil servants - one in Holland in 1941, the other in France in 1943 - break into Government offices intending to destroy its contents, the millions of IBM punch cards bearing demographic details of their fellow citizens being used to identify Jews on racial grounds on behalf of the SS. But their bosses are working late and a stand off develops. Can they persuade their bosses that their processing is wrong and must be stopped?
