Riding Lights play 'The uneasy sleeps of Max Maxwell'

for 1 hour, 45 mins
St Peter’s Church Newton-le-Willows
Church Street Newton-le-Willows, WA12 9SR, United Kingdom

...waking up to artificial intelligence

Max’s grip on domestic practicalities is slipping, but if his brain-child is a success will all be forgiven?

Cutting-edge computer programmer Max Maxwell is days away from launching his new ‘ethical’ A.I. system, while his wife Ruth, vicar of the local church, is doing her best to support him – as well as their teenage son Sam, avid consumer of social media, and her mum, Helen, experiencing dementia in a local care home. And here there’s talk of introducing robot carers.
In his sleep-deprived state, a few colourful dreams and imaginary conversations with his ‘project’ help Max to explore the possibilities of what A.I. could become in the not-so-distant future.

All this provides an entertaining human story to spark questions about the ways in which A.I. already, and surely will, interact with our lives.

After the play, there will be a short interval followed by live Q&A with expert scientists from the local area.
Come and raise your questions.

Glorifying God and serving the community in the name of Jesus Christ.

St Peter’s is an inclusive church and all are welcome.  

We are members of the wider Church of England and Anglican Communion, and we are located at the end of the historic High Street in Newton-le-Willows. We seek to glorify God and serve the community in the name of Jesus Christ.  

Our main service is our weekly Parish Communion which happens every Sunday morning at 9.30am. 

We are also open for worship at 11am on the second Sunday of each month for our family service with Sunday School.

Additionally, there is a weekly service of Evening Prayer on a Monday at 5pm and Holy Communion on Wednesday at 10am.

St Peter’s is part of the Newton Team of Churches which encompasses All Saint’s Newton, Emmanuel Wargrave, St John the Baptist Earlestown and St Michael’s Burtonwood.

St Peter’s C of E Primary School is linked with the Church and is an integral part of our Church community.
