Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel): Difference between revisions

[[The Stage]] is described. It is a dangerous, temperamental theatre stage; stained with what lore insists is just dye, it has heavy, purple velvet curtains which “have been known to swallow whole people up”, trapdoors which sometimes accidentally pen, lights wont to catching on fire, and other such hazards, with rubber knives occasionally being replaced with metal ones. As such, only extremely adventurous and experienced entertainers dare to perform upon it, from “singers and musicians who have sung to pirates, princes, [[dragon]]s, peasants, and spies and lived to sing the tale” to actors who “are not really acting”. Indeed, many thrilling tales are told or performed on this stage, including “pirate adventures, tragedies from [[Angel|the Gardeners]], romances told by [[dragon]]s, space voyages told by aliens and astronauts, and so much more”.
