About this event
A visionary is fired, the board is panicking, and the future is already here. A fictionalisation of Sam Altman's 2023 ousting from OpenAI.

Two acts. Two San Francisco luxury apartments. Two war rooms.

In one: the founder of a fictional AI company — bratty, worshipped, and feared — plots his revenge with an inner circle of advisors and true believers.

In the other: a boardroom of Substack writers, ex-CIA operatives, Zoomer coders, and corporate Judases scramble to enjoy their final hours in charge, knowing you can’t actually fire a founder. (Remember when Apple fired Steve Jobs in the ’80s?)

Set in Silicon Valley back when Twitter was still X.

Reviews

“Doomers provides an astute, at times infuriating, often uncomfortable look at the circlejerks that decide our collective fate...a cloyingky American tale for our time." Anastasia Dale, Pulp Magazine

"A play that captures the absurdity of tech’s existential hand-wringing while the world burns." The Guardian

“A very punchy two-act excoriation of greed, human stupidity and hubris.” The Scoop
