Left behind (Vigil Backstage)

Not every bit of audio makes it to the higher plane of existence that is a full story act. But not everything left behind deserves to be forgotten. Which is a roundabout and thematic way of saying these are some out-takes and bloopers from Vigil: Chief/Exec.

Coming next on 19 September – Vigil: Chief/Exec, Act 5

JINNY GREENTEETH: Proprietor of the Grove of Oddities, a tacky Sherrydown tourist attraction. In a past life, Jinny was branded a witch after a series of drownings in her Lancashire village.

HARPER: A US exchange student trying to sever her ties to the Shadow realm she sometimes enters through revolving doors.
DEPARTMENT OF OMISSIONS (DO, DoOm): The UK government department tasked with preventing harm to citizens from supernatural phenomena. Severely defunded under Tory austerity policies and currently prioritising major urban population centres.
SHERRYDOWN, BRACKSHIRE: A historic English market town. One of the first towns to lose its DoOm office.
OMISSION EFFECT: The rejection of certain beings and phenomena by long-term memory. Can be suppressed by concentration, mnemonic techniques, hypnosis, trauma, or the light of the full moon.
