The Play's the Thing

From Fallen London Wiki

It’s a full house in Parabola: denizens of everywhere and nowhere pack the stalls. Even the Skin of the Sun has a sense of the occasion, bathing the stage in the deep cosmogone hue of a false dusk. Showtime.

Many dream about putting on a play; fewer have the opportunity to stage one. And fewer still get to stage theirs in dream itself. Join forces with the Neath’s newest talent as she attempts to perform the impossible: a work of art that will bring truth to Parabola, where nothing is real. Select your cast, rehearse your lines and put on the performance of several lifetimes. Oh, and watch out for the subtext. It bites.
