Blocks Falling: The Tetris Musical
Blocks Falling is a comedy epic about capitalism, video games and the inescapable relationship between money and art.
In 1984, a Soviet engineer called Alexey Pajitnov creates a video game in his free time. When it’s discovered by a foreign salesman who attempts to distribute it worldwide, the door is kicked open between the communist USSR and the international market, putting Alexey’s life in danger and setting in motion a series of complex legal disputes, outrageous corporate espionage and an all-out war between titans of industry.
