Artificial Intelligence Home Audience System by Ben Henderson

You have to imagine that you are sitting in the audience at your local village hall, or wherever your local drama group performs, in this case it’s Barford Memorial Hall.

Opening
You have to imagine that you are sitting in the audience at Barford Memorial Hall, awaiting with anticipation for the evening’s performance to begin. The house lights dim, but the curtains remain closed.

Behind the curtains the scene is set as a Saturday afternoon in the lounge of a large residence in Ryland Road, Barford. The new home of Bill, who is wearing a shiny shell suit and sitting in an armchair reading the Racing Post and listening to the Racing Results on the Radio.

Bill and his wife Brenda are recent beneficiaries of a very large win on the Lottery. When a door to their lounge opens and their friend (Beatrice) walks in having just let herself in the back door.

The curtains remain closed, so you can only hear their slightly muffled voices…
