Off-Broadway play inspired by adventure games


The off-Broadway (it's in Brooklyn) play, Adventure Quest, explores the conventions set by Sierra's adventure games back in the time of yore (that's something like 20 years ago). The story follows a hero who must meticulously collect items and push forward on his journey while playing by the rules. Of course, things start going wrong, à la Into the Woods (if you don't know, Netflix it).

Adventure Quest, currently playing at the Brick Theater as part of the Antidepressent Festival, will also be part of the theater's Game Play celebration, which will have a variety of video game related performances throughout July. If you've seen it (don't be shy, there is love of theater here at the 'stiq), let us know what you thought.
