What if noted playwright Harold Pinter did a play based on the NES classic Duck Hunt? I think it would go a little something... like this.

This is part of a brilliant collection of short, videogame-inspired plays being put on by the Piper McKenzie theater company in (where else) Brooklyn. It's titled "Theater of the Arcade," and features plays based on Pac-Man, Donkey King and more, and is so wonderful I can barely stand it. Please note you don't have to know the works of Pinter to enjoy the above video; all you have to do is be open to the idea of Duck Hunt as an incredibly serious, morose play and you should enjoy it just fine. I sure did. (Via Gamma Squad)
