First Person Shooter: The Play

- Matteo Bittanti has been nice enough to point out First Person Shooter: The Play, which premiered in San Francisco on Saturday night, and "...takes us inside ‘JetPack Games’, a start-up video game company, where the hottest, most violent game on the market has brought instant success to its twenty-something tech geniuses."

According to the SF Playhouse page for the play: "Their celebration fizzles when their game is blamed for a schoolyard shooting. As the young CEO of Jet Pack deals with an impending lawsuit and the father of one of the victims, he must confront whether he has any responsibilities in the world beyond his computer screen."

Bittanti points out a review/analysis piece over at the Mercury News, too - which mentions Virginia Tech a lot, considering the disproven connection, but oh well. In addition, Firing Squad has a good interview with playwright Aaron Loeb, who is also COO of Giants: Citizen Kabuto creators Planet Moon Studios, as it happens.
