Story Boarding

Beginning the play to see a neutral feeling set.  - No hints as to want could happen


 Shrine of Loretto - Night time




The Duchess's imprisonment and her death - the set has gotten progressively darker as she death draws closer.

The death of the Duchess causes a black out, the columns are suddenly light and it causes a cold chill in the theatre. 

After the Duchess has died, Antino and Deil are walking past a cemetery - they hear the echo of The Duchess.
