At last, a real play that deals with the world of computer games and gaming with more than just a disparaging throwaway remark

Synopsis

"Sometimes when you have no lives left, you play better. Because you know that if you make a mistake you die. You think faster and do things you didn't know you could do"

Based on the exhilarating format of a Playstation game, Helmet is a funny, sharp, highly original and heartbreaking play charting Sal and Helmet's fight for survival.
