A Green & Narrow Bed

From the publisher: Each player plays a woman who has lost her husband to violence - often violence that predates the formal war, unsanctioned and extrajudicial murder. We meet these widows in 1866, after the horror of loss was replaced by a national horror, and in a time when the forces of culture and politics are beginning to whisper "forget." For your widow, maybe reconciliation is in the cards. Maybe there is redemption, mercy, a chance for peace. But more likely there is bloodshed in her near future, and bitter revenge. After a warm-up scene that establishes some details and motivations, each player and their widow will get precisely one scene, with another player as the man who killed her husband. Instructions are included for guarding player safety while engaging with themes of violence, war, loss, and revenge. Logistics Players: 3-6 Time: 2 hours Materials: Printed cards, paper & pencils Optional: Tea & biscuits
