Reception

[edit]

The Observer theatre critic Kate Kellaway wrote, "Game is more a concept than a conventional play, in which multitalented and prolific playwright Mike Bartlett explores the numb thrills of video-game violence and the relationship between virtual assassinations and the extermination of real people in an ingeniously executed evening, directed with sangfroid by Sacha Wares."[1]
