“Both as an innovative work of multimedia/multi-disciplinary theatre and an incisive and introspective exploration of the frail human condition, The Dudleys! has much to offer audiences. It’s one of the most exciting theatre experiences I’ve had this year. And it portends astonishing new directions for Stevens and his collaborators.” —Martin Denton, nytheatre.com Check out the entire review:
In this evocative, new play, The Dudleys! translates the adolescent memories of a young man into a malfunctioning 8-bit video game, the kind he used to play as a child. A life-size video game onstage provides the setting in which the characters must score points and overcome obstacles as they navigate their way through the dangers of their own family.
The Dudleys! features original music performed by a live 8-bit band consisting of classic Atari, Gameboy, and Commodore 64 consoles performing original chiptune songs, a new genre of electronic music in which old video game consoles are hacked and reprogrammed as synthesizers. The Dudleys! pits the two dimensional side-scrolling world of fun and happy endings up against the confusion and aimlessness of real life.
