There’s a boy. No more than ten years old. You know someone just like him – except that his best friend is a robot.

Don’t hold that against him, though. He lost his best friend in a terrible accident and when his mum brings home an unusual parcel, things start getting weirder and weirder. Join him on a roller coaster of laughter, tears, music and games – you might even change the ending.

Suitable for children aged 8+ and their families, Error 404 visits Unity Theatre as part of a U.K. tour on 28th and 30th April. Funny, engaging and unusual, writer and director Daniel Bye encourages audiences to look again at everything they thought they knew.

This is an interactive show where facets of the story come directly from audience suggestions, so each performance is different. At key moments there will be an opportunity for audience members to think and discuss what they have seen.

Writer and Performer, Daniel Bye said about the show, “Polka’s artistic director invited me to explore how I could make a show that explored philosophical ideas in an engaging and entertaining way. So I spent the school year 2013-14 as Philosopher-in-Residence at Pelham Primary in Wimbledon, and at Norton Primary in Stockton-on-Tees, creating short stories to tell the children, and asking them philosophical questions arising from those stories.

The results were incredible. With little prompting beyond the material in the stories, the children were able to grasp and debate often very complex philosophical ideas. Their engagement with the process of debate, critical thought and consideration of their place in the world was thrilling to witness. The stories that the children at Pelham found most provocative, fruitful and compelling form the basis of Error 404. It’s been one of the most rewarding writing and creative processes I’ve ever been through.”

The show is about a young boy who loses his best friend, but gains a new and very similar best friend, who is not all he seems. The show has highly engaging visuals and a gripping story that brings to life some colourful characters.
