"A fine morsel of eclectic humor. Fast moving and funny, witty and thought provoking, If You Can get to Buffalo takes us back to the beginnings of the internet." - Discover Hollywood
Few know that way back in the day, 1993 to be exact, a text-based social network "mansion" called LambdaMOO was hijacked by a "Mr. Bungle," who singlehandedly detonated the new world utopia by misbehaving most grievously at a virtual party. Somewhat based on the real story of the first instance of virtual rape, the attempt to deal with the perpetrator, and the awkward Charlie Rose episode that followed, Mr. Bungle and the Incident at LambdaMOO explores our fascination with hiding behind a keyboard, the impulse to be bad, and the anonymity that made it all possible.
If You Can Get to Buffalo premiered in a production by The Acme Company in Baltimore, MD in May 2013 under the direction of Eric Nightengale.
The cast should be played by 8 actors.
One actor plays “STARSINGER”, another “LEGBA”, another “JUNIPER” The actor playing “DR. BOMBAY” also plays JULIAN The actor playing JOHN (FROM THE NEW YORKER) also plays “BAMBI” The actor playing WIFE also plays “BILL GATES” and “PURPLE GUEST”/”GRENDLEFISH” One actor plays CHARLIE ROSE “MR. BUNGLE” plays “MAN” and “LEGBA” (Male)
