It is a series of interviews with playwrights (and musical book writers) of shows opening on Broadway and off-Broadway. Matthew Libby’s new play DATA pulls back the curtain on Silicon Valley’s darkest ambitions. When a brilliant young programmer learns his own algorithm is the key to a massive AI surveillance project, he’s forced to challenge the tech world he once dreamt of joining. Confronting today’s most controversial headlines, this thriller follows the terrifying choices at our fingertips—and the high cost of disrupting a system that tracks your every move. DATA, directed by Tyne Rafaeli (Weather Girl, Becoming Eve), stars Karan Brar (“Jessie”) reprising his role from the Arena Stage production, as Maneesh, as well as Brandon Flynn (“13 Reasons Why”) as Jonah, Sophia Lillis (“All Her Fault”) as Riley, and Justin H. Min (“The Umbrella Academy”) as Alex.
