Which role are you?
🎭
A restored theatre in Paris, hiding century-old dust and scandals.
For one night a year, an eccentric philanthropist and former stage magician, Auguste Morel, hosts 〝The Masquerade Game〞, a private, invite-only spectacle where twelve guests wear ornate masks and act out secret "roles" assigned to them in sealed envelopes.
But this year, a quick-fingered pickpocket from Montmartre infiltrates the party. Sabine Lenoir isn't on the guest list; hell, she wasn't even invited to the world of the bourgeoisie, but when she steals a fancy mask and invitation from a drunken aristocrat outside the theatre, she sees the party as a golden opportunity.
Not for champagne and caviar, but for the wealthy pockets ripe for picking.
However, the game is stranger than she imagined. Guests are forbidden from revealing their true identities. Their roles are elaborate, unsettling, and oh so eerily specific that they reference scandals done in Parisian societies.
Before the first act ends, the lights cut out, and someone is found dead in the orchestra pit with one hand clutching a card scrawled with:
Play Me.
