Imaginary Consequences, November 19–22, 2015, Naish Holiday Village, Christchurch, Dorset
Freakshow |
It is the late 1960s and the heyday of fairground sideshow attractions. There's not much on the telly and so people throng to the fairs when they arrive on the town common. You work the side show. You make your living by persuading people pay to look at you. Or by people watching you risk life and limb. Or maybe you just persuade people to give you money in exchange for trinkets or a bit of light banter. You may be there because you were born with the show, or perhaps you heard the siren call of the music of the fair and followed it one day. Perhaps you are running away from something in your former life. Roll up, roll up, all the fun of the fair. All human life is here! It’s the last day of the season. It’s been a season of friendships, challenges, love, loss. All human life in miniature. In a couple of hours the music and lights will start for the last show before the fair breaks for winter. What will happen? Will you be heading off to winter quarters, or maybe you have a home to go to outside of the fair. How will you get through the winter until the fair is back on the road. |

| Information for Players: | This is a game where adult themes are very likely to arise and so is only suitable for players aged 18 and older. Themes will include - body image, abuse, homophobia and sexism. Whilst they will be handled sensitively in game we would suggest that if they are hard limits for you then this may not be the game for you to play. We will ask you before the game to complete a casting form and a character outline will be sent to you before Consequences. The characters will be fully fleshed out in workshops in the game session though | ||||
