Gibson's Burning Chrome: The Play
Topic: Arts 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.
