M.A.D.: Mutual Assured Destruction (Modern Plays)

Product Information

Once again, it is difficult yet important to take this concept seriously as it seems so unrealistic. TL;DR, it depends if you're in it for the strategic appear, or do you just want to see shit blow up and let some debris fly. Once a player decides to attack, they need to consider a lot of things, such as “Will I be counter-attacked? If the actor’s facial expressions don’t match what the character is going through, it can be tough to figure out what they’re really feeling. This would block some of the sun’s light from reaching the earth, making the planet colder and darker – for about ten years.

The US and USSR have since developed more nuclear technology – guided missile systems, and weapons sprinkled around the globe in submarines. A scene that made me think of my brother and me was the scene with Paul Gapinski and Theo Van Straten. The actors had only a few months to prepare, and many of them found it to be an incredible experience. The after effects spread far beyond Japan- indeed the ripples of the first use of nuclear weapons affect us all, even if not in an obvious way. As of 2016, 174,000 survivors of the bombing are still alive, living with the physical, psychological, and social consequences.You can learn a lot just from identifying the situations where you’re in a version of mutually assured destruction. The actors showed a lot of emotion between happiness and sadness, and it helped build the overall watching experience of the play. Once a player is attacked, the attacked player shuffle their field card face down, and let the attacking player pick certain amount of random cards equal to the attacking player’s nuclear power, and discard them. During the decision-making in the gameplay, there are several factors that I want players to take into consideration. I have an older brother and a younger sister, and I related to so much of what the characters were going through.

Though Dadaism is often only considered as a react of WW1 happened in 1910s, it can still be applied to the time of the Cold Wars. Each short play explores a distinct facet of brother and sisterhood, from fights over who caused mom and dad to split (1985 - I'm Pretty Sure This Is Your Fault) to daring escape plots that only two sisters could pull off (1922 - Very Very Cold Feet). Although the concept of a nuclear apocalypse has become almost comical due to its prevalence in science fiction, it is important to understand that it remains a very real possibility.The nuclear power counted for the counte- attack includes the cards that has just been discarded through the previous attack. Both sides must act rationally (in short, all those with power must be able to act like adults and take the concept of MAD seriously. This play was chosen partially because of the ability to stage only two characters at a time, who may largely remain socially distant.
