ARCHIMEDES WAR by Melissa Reeves. Directed by Susie Dee 
Presented by Darebin Arts Speakeasy

What happens when our games are about war, and war is played like a game?
Fifteen-year-old Arki can’t shake the dead bodies of the players he’s killed in his online combat games. His mother takes him to a psychiatrist who thinks he has PTSD. In her quest to help her son, she turns to those involved in real world war afflictions.
ARCHIMEDES WAR is a dark comedy exploring the frightening depersonalisation of modern warfare, where waging war can look like a video game and playing video games has real-life consequences.
