RUR Questions

Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.

  1. How would the play change if the main characters were the robots rather than the humans?
  2. Does the play need the prologue? How would it change if the prologue were eliminated?
  3. Would R.U.R. work as a story rather than a play? What would have to change? What might you learn more about?
  4. How would the play change if the robots were less human in appearance—if they looked like C-3P0 from Star Wars, for example?
  5. If you were going to film R.U.R. what might you change? What different settings or special effects might you use?
