Speed running is about completing a game as fast as possible (even if you have to break the game to do it). In Current World Record, Bea is determined to get to her dream life as fast as possible, even if she has to break some rules--and her girlfriend's trust--to get there. Video games may be an escape, but what are we escaping from? Current World Record is darkly suspenseful and as engrossing as a great stream. I would love to see this staged!

Once a chemistry teacher, Walter White chose to Break Bad. Bea4Real? This ex art teacher chose to Break Fast, and we all know you can't Break Fast without cracking a few eggs on the way.

More than just gaming, Speedrunning is an approach to find a certain kind of gratification by breaking down walls and spaces you were never meant to see or experience, sometimes for good reason. Urrutia brilliantly showcases the impulses behind such an approach, and how games aren't all you can speedrun.

You don't always know what you're running the clock down on.

Current World Record, like many of Urrutia’s work, drags theatre kicking and screaming into a world it’s often pretended it’s too good for. Immersed in a well researched world of niche video games and the newest fad career Urrutia’s two-hander brings to light now far some people will go for a chance at a famed and easy life. Lead by a deeply flowed character Current World Record doesn’t shy from discomfort or awkwardness. It’s Urrutia’s own personal modern theatre speed run.
