Controversy

OB7 was controversial when produced as it explored themes from the classical Stanford Prison Experiment [1]. It was a political larp which brought to light political controversies of the 1970s as well as then-current issues. OB7 was written in the wake of 9/11 and the European Union summit in Göteborg 2001.
