📱 eBook en inglés THE LEGEND OF NED LUDD

They say work harder, strive harder. The machine strives for nothing.
The loom does the work twice as fast and half as well.
And theyll settle for that. Theyll settle for that.

Machines can make our work easier. They can also make it vanish overnight. Joe Ward Munrows play The Legend of Ned Ludd weaves together stories from around the world and takes us on a whirlwind global commute, from the Luddites nineteenth-century war against new technology through to London, Liverpool, Lagos and beyond...

But were all at the mercy of The Machine. And, in this powerful exploration of work, automation and capitalism, The Machine selects the scenes for each performance, resulting in 256 possible versions of the play, spun from all the stories included in this published edition. It premiered at the Liverpool Everyman in 2024, directed by Jude Christian.
