In John Boorman’s fourth play for radio, ‘Domestic Robots’, the year is 2068. And Helen and Neil have just taken delivery of their very own domestic robot. It’s there to help. At least, that’s what it’s supposed to be doing.
Written, directed and narrated by John Boorman, the cast features Brendan Gleeson and Stephen Rea and has original music by Colm Mac Con Iomaire.
