In this premier episode, The Good Lady Frederica Handkerchief, is invited to the ominous, creaking, sagging Thunderbowel's Castle for a walk through the arboretum. Her Ex-Assassin Grandmother, Gran, is left all alone to be the home maker for the evening -- and does so, as only the deadliest woman in the entire Betwixt Earth can...

The Ladyfinger Dynasties is an absurdist comedic fictional fantasy story set in The Bedwetxian Period of Betwixt Earth, where magic, monarchy, and everyday life collide in the folksy town of Terdplaqestanbergshire, where the two women of the Noble Handkerchief family quietly attempt to thwart their disasterous leader from collapsing the town and even the entire kingdom into the depths of absurdity.

*Disclaimer for the following Disclaimer: The following self-indulgence is unfortunately necessary...*

*Disclaimer*

Because of the current discourse, I do feel a responsibility to say something and I want to be upfront about it.

The voice acting is through AI synthetic voices.

I understand that some of you may deny the work or its legitimacy outright on mention of those two initials and there are many valid reasons for that. I'm a writer, I'd never outsource my creative writing to AI and would likely look on somebody elses project written by AI as being less legitimate than somebody writing from their heart, so I understand and respect your decision to do the same towards me using synthetic voices.

I write, direct, edit, and produce every aspect of this 100% myself. The score is mostly mine and the rest is from royalty free sources. I don’t have the budget to hire actors. Synthetic voices let me bring the characters to life in a way I couldn’t otherwise. I'm not claiming its right to do so. I think its more nuanced than that, but on a personal level, my work just wouldn't exist otherwise.

Every voice is meticulously directed. the pacing, cadence, emotion and delivery, all come from my prompts, my timing, and examples from my own voice.

I’m making this with no money and a lot of stubborn effort.

This episode is the most intentional work I’ve ever done.

Alright enough of that, this sure is a lot of seriousness for a story about an ex-assassin grandmother living in a place called The Doodoohole Kingdom...

I hope some of you will give it a listen. Thanks so much!

Prologue:

"Oh yay a prologue!" is not a sentence said very often and I feel your pain. It's just a quick introduction to Trashlypiece Theatre, The Betwixt Earth of The Ladyfinger Dynasties and how Lord Ladyfinger himself happened to stumble into becoming the ruler of the town of Terdplaqestanbergshire, as told by Nara the Narrator.
