Jordan Crandall's Unmanned is a piece of "philosophical theater": a blend of performance art, political allegory, philosophical speculation, and intimate reverie that explores the changing nature of masculinity in the face of automated technologies of war. Jordan conducts a series of monologues in the guise of seven different characters, supplemented with stage action, video, and sound. Each character is an archetype of masculine identity struggling with its own agency and role in the field of deployment -- historically, the most complex issue in the field of military endeavor.

Hyper capitalism and the death of the American dream collide when two parallel stories converge when a struggling writer meets the origin of his narrative through the ghostly lives of Dylan and Olivia Stratford.
