W U R : Werstands Universal Robots

In the polished offices of Werstands Universal Robots, Central Director Harry Domin oversees a sprawling enterprise that promises cheap, tireless labor through mass‑produced androids. Contracts flow from New York to Hamburg while a diligent typist, Sulla, records each order, and the board of engineers, psychologists, and commercial officers debates the cost of mechanising humanity. The unexpected visit of Helene Glory, daughter of a powerful president, turns a routine inspection into a tense encounter between ambition, politics, and the emotionless machines they sell.

Within this closed world, engineers like Fabry and Dr. Gall, the towering psychologist Hallemeier, and a legion of newly built robots each reveal personal hopes and doubts about a future where humans might be replaced. The stark contrast between the sleek boardroom and the blue‑clad, expressionless robots underscores themes of exploitation, identity, and the fragile line between creator and creation. Listeners are drawn into the mounting tension before the drama steps beyond the headquarters.
