NYC Play Uses Videogame Graphics and Music
The last matter many gamers want is to be dragged to a play, unless possibly it's to 8-chip fiddle The Dudleys!.
Can plays be cool? As it turns KO'd, yes they can. A new play holographic away New York playwright Leegrid Stevens called The Dudleys! looks to aggregate the digital world with the real one, using 8-bit graphics and chiptunes as a musical score.
Stanley Smith Stevens describes The Dudleys! as a play that "takes the adolescent memories of a man and translates them into a out of whack 8-fleck computer game." The main fictional character plays through a game of his family 15 years ago. It might be a tearjerker though, as it follows the family in the wake of a father's death, meant to put off the "two dimensional world of happy endings up against the confusion and aimlessness of real life."
Still, the basal idea for The Dudleys! is really cool, as it uses 8-bit animation (sample Hera) as a back-up to real-life story actors and a live orchestra not of tubas and timpani, but of Ataris, Gimpy Boys, and Commodore 64s. More detailed information connected the characters is on hand on Stevens' website.
The Dudleys! opens on August 30, 2010 at the Theater for the New City in Greater New York, NY. Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased here if you're interested. Finally, a play that might be able to keep Pine Tree State from falling asleep without having to bring my Nintendo DS.
