Reception
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]

gollark: Or about something else.
gollark: <@!309787486278909952> You should write a prophecy about that.
gollark: <@!330678593904443393> If you don't want to be the chosen one, write your own prophecy saying <@210559163648966657> is or something.
gollark: It says maybe.
