This play, if nothing else, shows the astonishing versatility of Mike Bartlett's dramatic imagination. Where 'King Charles III' reinvented the Shakespearean history play to interrogate a constitutional crisis in the near future, with its characters rendered surprisingly serious by their blank verse utterances, 'Game' lasts barely an hour and pitches the audience collusively into the murky world of video games and voyeurism.
