For a very limited time, a downloadable version of my personal favourite paper theatre.

 

Perfect for the spooky season, meet the strange assortment of characters lurking in the shadows of the ruined priory:

Sinclair O'Halloran - lauded for his delivery of Hamlet upon the Dublin stage, Mr O'Halloran quite suddenly retires from public view, retiring to his rural estate.  Rumours abound, yet many find it hard to believe that such a charming man could possibly...But then, he is an actor.  Perhaps playing the innocent is his final role?

Emily du Pre - Intrepid explorer of all things supernatural, Emily has never been quite the same since that unfortunate incident in the crypt of St. Augustine's.  Nonetheless she perseveres - despite frequently speaking of things unseen by her companions.  Gifted seer?  Skilled actress & self-publicist? Or simply a deluded soul?

Napoleon - Once upon a time, Napoleon performed with a travelling circus, somewhat unoriginally billed as The Living Skeleton.  Now he capers amongst the ruins, scraping tunes from his trusty fiddle.  Yet the question remains - living man impersonating skeleton?  Or skeleton imitating living man?

These & more await, ready for you to expand their tales or start afresh.  Whichever you choose, I look forward to hearing all about it!
