“Beattie plays River, an elderly, infirm woman who is being cared for by Moyo Akandé’s brilliantly realised “carebot”, Ida. In this cleverly twisting play, Butucea examines all the things that make us human: free will, imagination, music, laughter – and death.”
THE STAGE

“Finally, Beattie as River and Akande as Ida transcend the bounds of bad-tech as Butucea lays bare the power of the imagination that liberated us from being cogs in the machine to connect us all.”
HERALD SCOTLAND

”Vlad Butucea’s Glowstick approaches its subject with a flourish of imaginative poetics. Beattie plays (with tremendous empathy) a wheelchair-bound woman who is in terrible pain and under the care of a robot (played with delightful humour by Moyo Akande).”
