ABOUT THE PLAY: The Adding Machine was the first in Phoenix College's experimental series of plays. The purpose of Experiment was to provide students and playgoers with new plays, or new methods of produc- tion for older plays, and new ideas in theatrical presen- tation. In The Adding Machine, Elmer Rice has exposed the minds and souls of people. With withering insight he has laid bare the starved and bitter littleness and the huge universality of Mr. Zero's character, the slave type, that from eternity to eternity expresses the futility and the tragedy of the mediocre spirit. Mr. Zero is a pathetic figure symbolic of one social or character level. Nagged by his equally pathetic wife, he kills his boss because he was fired from a iob he held for 25 years. His conviction at the trial, his iourney through paradise, his meeting with odd philosophical characters, and his return to earth all proiect a social belief which goes to make him a generalized failure. Mr. Zero is the Everyman of any age, descend- ant of the apes, Egyptian pyramid builder, Roman galley slave, Medieval fief, and now unemployed bookkeeper, as a result of the In- dustrial Revolution. He is soon to return again to operate a super-hyper adding machine in the automated tomorrow.

Oblivious of the other's inner self, each works on at his monotonous bookkeeping.
