Strange Factories
A writer haunted by an idea for a new story searches for four lost friends: Sam, who is obsessed with dangerous stage effects, Jessica, a glamorous femme fatale, Rose, a dancer who sacrificed her life to art and Hettie, a clown who hides a secret.
All are refugee performers of a Theatre destroyed in a mysterious fire, Victor believes his friends will help him finish the new work.
He finds his friends in a remote, pagan settlement founded by Stronheim; owner of a Strange Factory hidden deep in the local countryside, infamous for the frequencies of sound it emits. Stronheim vows to re-build the performers theatre if Victor can learn the truth hidden at the heart of his story in time for it to be performed at the village festival.
The key to success lies in unravelling how the story relates to the settlements history and the bizarre rites and customs that its citizens practice.
The secrets and emotions each performer hides weave together with the mysterious narrative to form a violent creation that not everyone can survive.
