May 13, 2010 (San Diego) – ECM reviewer Walter G. Meyer’s new play, GAM3RS, opened May 7th at the Ion Theatre in Hillcrest off of 6th Avenue. This one-man show captures today’s contemporary life in which sublimation and escapism through online gaming is a norm--a world where lines between reality and fantasy become blurred as real working professionals, while going about their daily job routines, become engulfed in a “Land Made of Awesome” populated by elves, warriors, knights and orcs. The result is hilarious and entertaining, probing the psyche of gamers with sensitivity and credibility.
