    Goldhallow Inn is a witty and imaginative exploration of identity through the eyes of an NPC in a video game. With a blend of humor and heart, Nelson cleverly captures the moment when a character breaks free from her programming. A fun, relatable, and surprisingly deep adventure!

    The Secret Lives of Non-Player Characters! I laughed out loud several times, and I don't especially consider myself a gamer. It's a delightful "what if" premise the writer has spun into a story of agency and self-determination. Recognizable personalities dropped in a world familiar and entertaining to a wider audience. Well done.

    As someone who's spent way too much time playing games like the one described here in this very funny 10-minute, much of this rang true and brought a smile to my face and several laughs throughout. Even if you're not a gamer, however, I think you're going to enjoy the surprising exploration of identity that happens as the play progresses. There's something to be said for "NPC's" taking charge of their own identity in this day and age, I think, but beyond that, enjoy the adventure of this play!

    More video game and more fantasy theatre please and thank you. James Kelsey Nelson does a fantastic job dealing with not only the rigid tropes of NPCs but also the concepts of self-actualization and self-realization. The play is built in such a way that almost any theater could produce it with minimal set and props, and if anyone in the audience has touched Skyrim, they'll have a wonderful time.
