An edgy, erotically charged information-age thriller, this new play by award-winning playwright Arthur Kopit exposes the control that computers can have over lives, morality, even bank accounts. In BecauseHeCan, Kopit questions our relationship to the technology we use and create, and illuminates our fears of being dominated or manipulated by our own inventions.
