Updated 5/11/2021 11:42 AM The Theater Lab, a District 214 Community Education program, will hold virtual performances of its adaptation of E.M. Forster's "The Machine Stops." Shows will be Friday and Saturday, May 14-15 via Zoom. For tickets, visit www.ce.d214.org/theater-lab. Tickets are free, but there is a suggested donation of $5.
An author who earned a prestigious reputation, Forster was nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature 16 times and is known for such works as "Howard's End," "A Room With A View," and "A Passage to India." His only foray into science fiction, "The Machine Stops," is a prescient glimpse of our modern world through the eyes of an Edwardian Englishman.
