Fear cuts deep. Let’s take a break from that and drink of the deep well of clips we cut from this production.
Coming next on 27 February – Vigil: Fear Itself, Act 5
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.
