“In high school, the greatest time of my life was being in theatre class,” recalls Jeffrey Yohalem, the writer behind both Far Cry 3 and Child of Light.
“We created this play each year," he continues. "Santa Fe High was famous locally for making these productions that would go to the fringe festivals in the southwest or in Scotland; this big trip to the Edinburgh fringe festival. Each year a group of us would get together, and we’d create a play from scratch based on everyone’s life experience, and through improv and dance and all of this other stuff, the director would put together the script from that sharing. And that sharing could get really intense, you know, people would talk about really personal stuff. Stuff they hadn’t shared with anyone before. There was crying, and there was screaming… it was just, like, in the middle of everyday school all of a sudden you’d be transported to this deep, vulnerable, scary, beautiful place. Creating that play all together as a group of like, 20 people was… that was the greatest experience that I ever had.”
