A cast of four – two girls and two boys – realized they are trapped in a story, doing the same thing over and over. As they attempt to escape, a supremely powerful raven tries to take one of the characters away; while the raven is on the “outside”, he is just as trapped as the main four are. They must fight the higher being writing their story, with the looming threat of epic tragedy if they fail. Also, suicide is a Thing, and raising middle fingers to the narrative.

Did I describe Princess Tutu or The Ballad of Lost Hallow?

You know that slight call and response thing in the Radio Hour’s Finale? Where John belts out, “IN THE FIIIRE!” twice and each time a single bari sax replies with an ascending chromatic line, in stark contrast with the descending lines in the brass and the driving beat from the drum kit? That part?

That’s some good stuff right there. Some good stuff.
