Gibson's Burning Chrome: The Play
by Acidus at 10:46 am EDT, Apr 25, 2005 |
] Brilliant "console cowboy" Bobby (David Holcomb)
] persuades his reluctant partner Automatic Jack (Adam
] Bitterman) to rip off Chrome (Tenny Priebe), a mobster
] queen with vast financial holdings and a lethal
] reputation.
] Chrome's cash is hidden deep in the Matrix, a glorified
] Internet where world commerce, legal and non, is
] conducted. First, the partners must hack through the
] "black ice"--the deadly countermeasures--protecting the
] dough. The scam is complicated when both guys get a yen
] for Rikki Wildside (Piper Henry), a free spirit who has
] come to town hoping to star in "simstim"--a virtual
] reality medium in which the actors replace their eyes
] with cameras. Although Jack's love for Rikki is true,
] he's destined to download the blues. More like inspired by Gibson's novel: 2/3 of the characters don't exist, and the story/roles of the remaining ones is pretty different. Cool attempt though. Update: Whoops! Bobby, The Finn, and Automatic Jack also are in Count Zero. This does follow Gibson's short story, Burning Chrome. |

] Why didn't dramatech do something like this!? ... I wish I could compose a funny response to this mainly involving the emotionally and maturity challenged nature of self loathing ego centric jackasses who tend to do stupid things like get knocked up after preaching as missionaries or say they have must wear black because they have a "skin disorder," but I'm just not that talented. Dramatech doesn't go out on a limb and do cool stuff like this. As a whole, Dramatech makes poor choices about the plays that we do. Case in point, we passed over a bio play about Alan Turing cracking Enigma, to do a play about war, love, and loss in 19 century Bulgaria! WTF? |
