Together in Electric Dreams
About this Event
Welcome to Electric Dreams!
The Northwest Computer Museum is proud to host a special performance of Together in Electric Dreams, a sharp, funny, and deeply human play written by Daniel Thackeray.
Set in the vibrant backdrop of the 1980s home computing boom, this play imagines a fictional dinner meeting between two real-life British tech giants — Sir Clive Sinclair, the visionary inventor behind the ZX Spectrum, and Alan Sugar, the ambitious entrepreneur on the rise with Amstrad.
What follows is a witty and insightful conversation full of tension, humour, and philosophy — as these two very different men clash over the future of technology, business, and the very purpose of invention.
Will Sinclair’s idealism survive Sugar’s hard-nosed commercialism?
Can dreams and profit ever exist on the same circuit board?
Perfect for fans of tech history, drama lovers, and anyone with a fondness for the 80s, Together in Electric Dreams brings the human story behind Britain’s computing revolution to life — all within the atmospheric setting of the Northwest Computer Museum.
Included in Your Ticket:
- A delicious buffet meal served before the performance
- Full access to the museum and its interactive exhibits after the show
