The cast look back at the fever dream that was Dream Big and consider the consequences they’ve inflicted on the next set of players.
Coming next – Labyrinth Untold, an odyssey in 5 acts
Programme notes
This production includes a natural disaster, fantasy violence, blood, and dismemberment (the dismemberment is not bloody).
Luvvie alert! We simply must introduce you to Of Dice and Them, where Jack, Ralph, Lou, Tove and Bambi laugh in each other's faces and try to get through a session where no one beefs it. Contains frustrated swearing, light-hearted DM bullying, and far too much owl-based combat.
Dramatis personae and other definitions
Mick Mason: Sherrydown’s favourite builder and bricklayer. His life has been getting weirder since he dug too deep and hit a leyline.
Melody Bantham: The owner of Melodies, the cosy cafe and vinyl shop on Market Street. Melody is an ageless patchwork person animated by music, who fled her creator ages ago and has owned a music shop on this spot ever since.
Brier: A mischievous shapeshifting púca, the fae guardian of Sherrydown’s Rosebrier Forest.
Department of Omissions (DO, DoOm): The UK government department tasked with preventing harm to citizens from supernatural phenomena. Severely defunded under Tory austerity policies and currently prioritising major urban population centres.
Sherrydown, Brackshire: A historic English market town. One of the first towns to lose its DoOm office.
Omission effect: The rejection of certain beings and phenomena by long-term memory. Can be suppressed by concentration, mnemonic techniques, hypnosis, trauma, or the light of the full moon.
