Beskrivning

Future recountings of tonight will call this Brenner House’s most famous séance, but it starts out as any Family Dinner would at Sophie Brenner’s House for Proper Women. One of the tenants is moving out tomorrow, and so dinner tonight is also a goodbye party for her. But tensions rise, secrets come out and old wounds reopen when a call is put forth for a séance for a man whose life has touched them all - and not all positively. This is an all-female character game that looks at relationships between women despite the man that connects them all. Set amongst the working class in Edwardian times (1901-1910, as seen in media such as The Murdoch Mysteries), characters find themselves in a world on the cusp of modernity and an easing of conservative morality. During the game players will read their own forgotten memories by dim light (battery operated candles) and may be asked to remember them without the text prop (1 paragraph at most). Most group scenes will take place around a dinner table, while smaller conversations may take place in other areas with less seating.

Topics in backstories will come into conversation during game play and may include queer romance, infidelity, poverty, prostitution, pregnancy, abortion, religious zealotry and violence.
