Act Four of Five: Cameron and Jess get their first taste of Fairyland. The mortals and Graham all get their targets in sight.
Coming next on 20 February – Vicious cuts (Vigil Backstage)
Programme notes
This production contains fantasy violence, gun violence, strong language, family tragedy and malicious fearmongering.
Luvvie alert! We simply must introduce you to Of Dice and Them, where Jack, Ralph, Lou, Tove and Bambi they 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.
