A strange pervasive play, willing to cut the ethical corners that only the boldest game designers will?

Page 44 Bumping into walls
When performance and roleplaying mix, the role of the audience is challenged. Should roleplayers lean back and enjoy the piece, or try to respond to the situation as participants? Gabriel Widing takes a criti-cal look at a participatory performance.
