To Love An AI

After successful runs across Asia and at the Edinburgh Fringe, the award-winning South Korean musical You & It makes its London premiere at the King's Head Theatre! Developed by original writers Seoeun Oh and Q Lee, this unsettling-yet-moving tale of love and grief in the age of AI features lyrics by Ricky Allan, dramaturgy by Yojiro Ichikawa and direction by Esther Jun. The musical two-hander stars Olivier Award nominee Frances Mayli McCann (The Great Gatsby) alongside Zachary Pang, and arrives in London having previously won Best Musical at the Daegu International Musical Festival. 

What Is The Story?

Drowning in grief, a widower struggles to navigate the loss of his wife. But this is the age of artificial intelligence, and in an effort to cope he comes across an AI built in her image. With this scene set, You & It is a searing exploration of the emotional boundaries of memory, questioning whether synthetic connection can ever truly replace authentic human love and shared history.
