The review of "East is South" at Hampstead Theatre critiques the AI thriller as a misjudged production that squanders acting talent. The play, by Beau Willimon, explores the potential dominance of AI over humanity, with a plot involving programmers creating a kill code for an AI named Logos. Despite its intriguing premise, the review faults the script for excessive jargon and underdeveloped characters, resulting in a lack of urgency and credibility. The reviewer finds the dialogue clichéd and overly complex, ultimately deeming the production a disappointment.
