Treading the Coffin-Shaped Boards

E M G Wixley

Step into the chilling darkness of Victorian England with Mary, a woman born into the bleak confines of the workhouse. As she navigates the harsh and hostile environment, Mary discovers within herself inexplicable abilities to see beyond the veil of the mundane. In the dead of night, amidst coffin-like beds and sinister shadows, she encounters vengeful spirits and haunting demons.

But fate is not done with Mary yet. Forced to return to the workhouse with her two children, she faces the ire of the Master, who sees her as a threat to order. Cast out onto the unforgiving streets, Mary's only hope lies in an unexpected encounter with Charles, owner of the prestigious Royal Theatre. Embracing a new life on the stage, Mary delves into the decadent underbelly of Victorian society, where debauchery reigns supreme.

Yet, amidst the glamour and intrigue of theatreland, Mary's heart yearns for her lost boys. As she treads the boards and wades through the murky depths of her new world, she finds herself drawn into a sinister web of vengeful spirits and dark secrets. Will Mary's performances lead her to the reunion she seeks, or will the chill of the supernatural consume her and her dreams? Prepare for a tale where the stage is set for vengeance and the macabre, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs with each passing act.
