"an invigorating ensemble as fascinating as they are funny"
Suzy Goes See
"...an authentic interpretation of the medical world, while still allowing it to be absolutely ridiculously funny."
Playwave
"...skilled performers who spin comedy gold out of spinning robots"
Sydney Arts Guide
''With a strong, funny and extremely talented cast, combined with an impressive set design that captures the humorous absurdity of septic hospital wards, this is theatre that is not to be missed.''
What's on Sydney

Roomba Nation is a playful and surprising look at how we live, how we die and what technology should do... not just what it can.
Pippie finds herself in the ward from which patients don't usually return. The Doc will use any technological means to cure the next big disease that she is increasingly obsessed with diagnosing. Nursie, the last of the human carers, struggles with the technological takeover as he determines what Pippie really needs.
Roomba Nation is in re-development under the name 'The Curious Affliction of Living'.
Hurrah !
