About the Show

Max Webster directs this adaptation of Philip K Dick’s short story about justice and free will.

2050: famed neuroscientist Dame Julia Anderton is about to launch the next phase of her pioneering Pre-Crime programme, detaining people for crimes before they are committed. When she herself is accused of a future murder, she goes on the run to uncover the truth behind the system's flaws. As she delves deeper into a conspiracy, she must navigate a world of moral ambiguity, advanced technology, and ethical dilemmas, ultimately questioning the validity of the Precog predictions and the ethics of preemptive law enforcement.

Max Webster ('Life of Pi') directs this production, which is recommended for ages 14+.
