Audiences react to Day (After Day) In The Life Of The Useless

Written by Black Swan State Theatre Company 3 September 2026 2 min

Hear what audiences have to say about Day (After Day) In The Life Of The Useless, which officially opened last night!

After being dumped by his fiancée for being “a robot”, hapless and hopeless Pete is determined to get his life back on track. After enlisting the help of an AI chatbot who tells him to “live well”, Pete’s life goes from bad to worse in a series of hilarious and absurd scenarios.

Will O’Mahony’s new work asks: what happens when the world moves faster than our legs can run, and what does it mean to be human in a tech-filled world?

Day (After Day) In The Life Of The Useless is showing at the Heath Ledger Theatre until Sunday 20 September.
