Games: A Play About Kids in One Act

by Peter Filichia

Four classmates at their high school reunion begin discussing "the good old days" of childhood when life was simple and times were carefree. Or were they? Games examines our childhood pastimes, those "innocent" activities which always seemed to have an affinity for violence was well as a victim (who was euphemistically called "it".) We soon see, both through the use of flashbacks and the comments of a children's chorus, that kids are a little more treacherous in their games than we would like to admit (or remember) and, that as adults, we're still playing our little games with each other.
