Adding Machine: A Musical

Theatre Three
2800 Routh St, Ste 168 Dallas

Elmer Rice wrote his incendiary play Adding Machine in 1923, but its themes -- of jobs lost to automation, faceless amoral corporations and workplace violence -- have never been more resonant than today. In the new adaptation Adding Machine: A Musical at Theatre Three in Dallas, an eclectic score gives passionate and memorable voice to the story of Mr. Zero, an accountant who is moved to a murderous rage when his company fires him and gives his job to a mechanical adding machine. Zero's journey from revenge to redemption takes him on a heartbreaking and darkly humorous journey from this life into the next.
