Now
Author(s):
Willard Simms
In NOW (subtitled SOFT DISCS DON'T DRIVE HARD ENOUGH) the time is 1987 (or later), the place a high-tech, futuristic employment office in Los Angeles, dominated by a super-computer named "Leslie." Programmed to give almost human responses, Leslie is both the nemesis and delight (and even the love object) of the office manager, Mr. Worthmore, and, more than that, becomes a vital element of the play. In fact Worthmore, his compliant secretary, Miss Bunson, and a luckless job-seeker, Luke Luckington, all find themselves hilariously ensnared in Leslie's toils before the play reaches its ironic--and cautionary--conclusion.
