If You Can Get to Buffalo
by Trish Harnetiaux

"If You Can Get to Buffalo finally deflates the utopian pretenses of cyberspace by reminding us that human technology also carries in it its makers’ most craven impulses."

"The early ’90s was the dinosaur age of the Internet: Dial-up modems whined, the ‘information superhighway’ was common parlance, and multi-user dimensions – the fledgling ancestors of virtual worlds – were just emerging. Trish Harnetiaux isn’t nostalgic for that time in her new play, If You Can Get to Buffalo, but she makes an amusingly pertinent case for revisiting it, and more specifically, LambdaMOO, a nascent chatroom that witnessed one of the world’s first virtual crimes and began the debate on internet rights."

"It is strange to think back on the internet as a text-based phenomenon, and Harnetiaux brilliantly captures the ambivalence of that moment right between the pre-internet world and our world, where we are inundated with it, drowning in it, allowing this now-ancient-seeming past to articulate the questions that are even more pressing today."
