About This Show
Underground Railway Theatre presents free readings of On Ego, written by Mick Gordon and Paul Broks, and directed by Jon Lipsky.
When a teleportation experiment goes slightly wrong, a neuroscientist is duplicated. Faced with the proposition of two selves, he wonders who the real “him” is. In doing so, he addresses one of science and philosophy’s greatest riddles: How does the brain construct a self?
