Work-Life by Diane Stewart – Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh

The Traverse Theatre’s rehearsed breakfast readings are a treat, because it is not at all usual to see work in progress presented in front of an audience. It is not appropriate to review a performance after a single day’s rehearsal. However, Diane Stewart’s play tackles the impact of automation and the grip that multi-national corporations have over work, life and moral compasses – an essential area for discussion.
