The Silk Road Theatre Production Written by Alex Oates Receives Rave Reviews
Just before the end of the phenomenal 2017 cryptocurrency run news.Bitcoin.com reported on a play that appeared in the UK called the “Silk Road: How to Buy Drugs Online.” The performance has been funded entirely in BTC when an anonymous person donated funds towards the production. The play, written by the well known English playwright Alex Oates, is about a 19-year old man named Bruce Blakemore who learns about the deep web and darknet markets. Moreover, the play is loosely based on the tales of the Dread Pirate Roberts (DPR) alongside interviews with real Silk Road vendors.
Since the play took place at the notorious Edinburgh Fringe and at the Vault Festival the production has received rave reviews.
“Like a hybrid of ‘Snatch’ and ‘Starter for Ten’, this is both an adolescent adventure and a grotesque, criminal caper. Gritty and very well written by Old Vic New Voices playwright Alex Oates, ‘Silk Road’ is the best thing to come from its namesake,” explained a Three Weeks review.
