Description

The world is at war, but in Ireland a desperate bid for freedom plays out across the land. In a remote corner of Ireland, British soldiers and their prisoners take refuge in an ancient castle, knowing that rebels may be upon them at any moment. But what of the rumors of an ancient power lurking in the depths beneath the castle dungeons? And what do the strange fires in the distant village portend? And what do the stories of Serpent's Spiral mean?

The Serpent's Spiral is a history-based theater game that takes place during the 1916 Easter Uprising in Ireland. Players include British soldiers, castle natives, and Irish prisoners trapped together for a night. Game space will include a full labyrinth.

**Trigger Warning!** Some character sheets contain background information about sexual assault and/or violence which may be triggering to survivors. We will attempt to screen these character sheets with a questionnaire, but the material will be in character backgrounds and may appear in game play. The background information on the character sheets includes:

- graphic descriptions of or extensive discussion of abuse, especially sexual abuse or torture - graphic descriptions of or extensive discussion of self-harming behavior such as suicide, self-inflicted injuries or disordered eating - depictions, especially lengthy or psychologically realistic ones, of the mental state of someone suffering abuse or engaging in self-harming behavior
