As part of Active Replica’s continued collaboration with OnBoardXR, we are proud to feature Mary Stewart-David’s Mrs Nemo XR during the Constellation pilot this August.
Behind every great man, they say, is a woman cleaning up. On board the Nautilus submarine you’ll meet Captain Nemo’s mysterious wife. As the Captain faces his worst nemesis, Mrs. Nemo reveals her secrets and a new perspective on the conflict between man and the creatures of the deep. A musical!
Mary Stewart-David is an award-winning dramatist, lyricist, and director. Her work has been produced and performed in the West End and in New York and Los Angeles, together with many different regional theatres in the UK and worldwide.
We see a great future for live performance in XR
"OnBoardXR supported the team of PhD students and researchers from University of York’s DC Labs to explore staging their first musical work in browser-based virtual reality. This team brought the rare advantage of their own independent financial, design, and narrative resources to their prototype, allowing the OnBoardXR’s community to focus on mentoring and stabilizing the integration of the technology
We see a great future for live performance in XR, particularly in terms of ease of access and affordability, and look forward to our next collaboration within the rapidly expanding community of VR theatre-makers and their virtual audiences.”
