dog & pony dc will present a 'second edition' of their original play, A Killing Game, in conjunction with Washington, DC's Capital Fringe Festival in July of 2013. An absurdist-play-meets-party-game that The Washington Post noted 'the gratification is immediate' and dubbed it 'more Airplane than Andromeda Strain,' A Killing Game promises audiences the most fun they'll ever have dying. The show, and the game within it, begins with the outbreak of a deadly disease. Audience and performers together play along in series of scenes, contests, and songs led by game show host, Mr. Chrome, and the seductive but elusive 'Our Friend in Black.'
