"Loeb's play is that rarity in theater: an insightful examination of current events that seems at once relevant and timeless." - Oakland Tribune

This 2007 winner of the Bay Area Critics Award for “Best New Play” First Person Shooter takes us inside JetPack Games, a start-up video game company, where the hottest, most violent game on the market has brought instant success to its young tech geniuses. Their celebration fizzles when their game is blamed for a schoolyard shooting. As the young CEO of Jet Pack deals with an impending lawsuit and the father of one of the victims, he must confront whether he bears any responsibility for the events that have unfolded.
