The premise

You won. Everyone says so.

At a lavish victory ceremony, everyone congratulates you on a lifetime of heroic choices you barely remember making.

Vivienne, the woman you were supposedly rewarded with, would like a word. She has rented a room on the coast. It has hideous wallpaper, a kettle with opinions and a lock on her side of the door. When she refuses to be the prize, the Director rewrites her into the villain.

So begins a fight over who owns the story. The cast want their lives back, the genres keep changing without notice, and the evidence keeps contradicting the narration. Every choice you make is written down, and the people you made it with remember.

“I’ve been abducted, resurrected, and married to a prophecy. Somehow the prize was always me.”

The company

A cast with opinions about their parts

Every one of them has been rewritten at least once. Most of them noticed.

  • Vivienne in purple and gold couture.

    Vivienne

    Retired romantic lead

    Fast, specific and tired of being awarded to people. Would like a room, breakfast and a door she can close.

  • Tippet, a pale smiling man in a plum frock coat with porcelain doll-jointed hands.

    Tippet

    The witness

    Impeccably courteous and never wrong about what actually happened. Remembers your last run precisely.

  • Seraphine Saint in white and gold with a flowing cape, one gloved hand raised.

    Seraphine Saint

    Replacement heroine, aspiring villain

    Rehearses her threats beautifully, then keeps accidentally being helpful.

  • Mirabel Voss, an emerald slime executive in black and ivory tailoring, holding a clipboard.

    Mirabel Voss

    Slime executive

    Hears an outrageous idea and immediately finds its next workable step. Off duty, considerably less tidy.

  • Ivo Rook, a grey-skinned undead detective in a black trench coat, holding a white flower.

    Ivo Rook

    Undead detective

    Investigates his own impossible history with professionally inconvenient honesty.

  • Corvina in bone-white tailoring under a black feathered mantle, holding a promptbook tied with red ribbon.

    Corvina

    The lead before Vivienne

    The most successful person in the room, still giving notes nobody asked for. The notes are good.

  • Daybreak, a blond hero in ivory, coral and gold, carrying a golden case.

    Daybreak

    Golden-boy hero

    Genuinely brave, spectacularly pleased with himself, and precise about exactly how many people he saved.

Meet the whole company

Same company, wrong genre

The story keeps changing channels

The Director’s production leaks. One minute it is a gothic romance; the next, the company is robbing a property store in orbit and nobody has been told their lines.

  • A gilded property store in orbit, a vault door and a parked starship.Space heist

    A Job Outside the Script

    Vivienne is the cargo, carried out in a crate. Corvina is the fixer, and her plan has a name crossed out.

  • A night hospital ward with curtained beds and city lights in the window.Hospital drama

    The Body Is Not Evidence Storage

    Ivo’s case needs one consultation. The ward would much rather keep a dead detective as a cliffhanger.

  • A supper club stage with a single candlelit table under a spotlight.Stage musical

    A Monster with a Dinner Reservation

    The Mother of Mouths booked a quiet dinner and wrote NO SINGING on the reservation. The Director has other plans.

  • A warm boomtown saloon with a long bar and swinging doors.Western

    The Hotel’s New Investor

    The hotel’s guest is suddenly the most valuable man in town. Seraphine rides in with a deed, and someone wants a showdown at noon.

  • A tidy fifties television living room.Fifties sitcom

    Every Week, Forever

    Nobody can leave a situation comedy. Every exit comes back in through the kitchen to a bigger laugh.

  • A grand foyer barricaded with furniture.Zombie siege

    The Last Living Witness

    At midnight the siege wants its last living witness to hold the door for ever. She has other ideas.

Every act break, a curtain

Painted, narrated cutscenes

Between acts the stage clears for a short painted scene, read by the narrator and captioned for anyone with the sound off.

Why it plays differently

The story keeps receipts

  • Choices on the record

    Branches split and rejoin, but what you did stays done. A ledger tracks every promise kept, broken or still owed.

  • Runs that remember

    Finish a run and start another. Whoever got out last time is missing this time, and by the third run the Director admits he has seen this before.

  • A narrator who performs

    Every narrator line is performed with direction, the music dips under speech, and quiet scenes keep the hush of a real room.
