Dead Man's Tales


Image



Typically situated in the center of town is a rather large amiptheatre, which may seat an estimated number of approximately 250 people. It was crafted of a smooth white stone, on a relatively flat portion of land. The center of the theatre is a large, flat, white circle. Two thirds of the circle are surrounded by rows upon rows of seats. The seats rise upwards, carved against the terrain as though they were a flight of stairs. To sit upon these steps, while a show is going on, costs a silver miza, or its equivalent in coin. To stand around the outer rim of the stage is free, as is haunting the place. Such an occurrence tends to happen only when a ghost is extraordinarily bored, however.

The theatre puts on two shows per season. Each is directed by Kristen. The first of the shows tends to be either a romance, or a comedy. The second, is oftentimes a tragedy, or horror story. However, at least once a year, a show in which the benefits of praying to Dira are portrayed, also appears on stage. Should anyone fear to miss a moment of acting, they should rest assured, for not only are the plays put on several times within the season, but the acoustics within the theatre are so great, that a patron in the back row can hear a copper miza fall to the floor.

The NPCs :
ImageKristen Snowsong: Playwright, Director
Kristen has been working at the theatre ever since she first came to Black Rock, from her icy homeland in Avanthal, back in 508 AV. She has been known to be rather soft-spoken, and will often take the time to listen to her actors for their view on certain aspects of the shows they put on. At times, Kristen will have written these shows herself. However, she tends to take from pre-existing plays, and prefers to put those on instead, for she is shy about her work. She hates showing it off until it is absolutely perfect. This can prove to be quite the challenge however, for she is also quite the perfectionist, which leaves her actors and close friends with a certain task: convincing her that her idea of "ok" is good enough.
