[dorkbotsea-blabber] 3rd-world internet café as theater set

[trochee]

Last weekend I saw a great play produced by local Seattle theatre
company Macha Monkey (http://www.machamonkey.org/).  "We Are Not These
Hands" is a NW premiere.

I mention it here because almost the entire play takes place in a
third-world ramshackle internet cafe. The set designer lists special
thanks to Re-PC: the need for thanks is borne out by the
electromechanical chaos that makes up the back wall of the entire set:
it is built of junk CRT monitors actively displaying the insanity of
the web, from surreal wargames to beach photographs to porn.

In addition to the cool set, the actors and script knocked my socks
off. Among other cool things, the two street kids speak a peculiar
urban dialect that reminds me of Clockwork Orange.

Go see it while it's still running here!
