When Karel Čapek´s R.U.R. (the acronymic title is short for ??Rossum?s Universal Robots??) was first performed in 1921, it became a major international success and made Čapek an internationally known playwright. Although R.U.R. may appear slightly dated nearly hundred years later, the concerns expressed by the playwright are still interesting to modern audiences which explains why this play was chosen to be stage designed in the first place.
