OVERTURE

You wake up, and realize you don’t remember how you got here.

This bed is soft and warm, but it’s certainly not yours. And the room is unfamiliar - unless perhaps you’re an actor, seeing as it looks almost exactly like every dressing room in the world. It's not quite large enough to fit the bed and trunk comfortably alongside the vanity, but it what it lacks in open space, it makes up for in coziness. This could be something you’ve seen in a movie, or dreamed about experiencing one day. But whatever the case, you aren’t supposed to be here.

There’s a silver key resting on your vanity, along with a thin program booklet. The cover - where the name of the show would usually be - is blank, but if you flip through it, you’ll find some startlingly familiar information. Maybe a few familiar faces as well…

The hallway outside is narrow and poorly-lit, lined with star-studded doors. But if you make your way past them and out into the lobby, you’ll find something entirely different: an elegant, refined opera house. Crystal chandeliers glitter overhead, and the red carpet is perfect for putting on a show. A large clock on the northern wall marks the time, though with the windows shuttered and locked it's difficult to tell whether it's morning or night. There’s also some framed information pinned up that you might find helpful. If you explore further into the adjoining wings, in fact, you'll see there's an identical copy in every room.

There’s also two sets of double-doors in the lobby: one leading back the way you came, deeper into the Opera House, and one leading out. For the moment, neither of them will open.

It looks like you’re stuck. But hey - at least you aren’t alone.

[he squints, and kneels down to read it, before looking back up at the man.]

I see that you too have misgivings with the information written inside this horrid paper.

[Alright he understood that somewhat--hold on.

He looks down to the paper, then back to Hook. Tapping the obvious HOOK.

Are you reaaally Captain Hook?]

[...squint]

An excellent photograph, if you can stomach the terrible writing.

[Aggressively underlines the word Hook with his finger.]

You want to see my hook.

[he raises his hook up, it glimmers.]

[Oh. Yep.

That's actually...pretty real.

Winslow taps his own metal head out of commiseration. Maybe they were both victims of this horrendous opera?]

No, I don't suppose it is made up of the same material as your head. My hook is far more impressive.
