What’s worse than serving at the Tudor court? Serving at the Tudor court during a plague outbreak. In tonight’s slow, grim descent through royal corridors and chamber pots, you’ll experience the full horror of what it meant to live — and die — in service to a palace that valued powder over hygiene, prayer over medicine, and perfume over plumbing.

This immersive historical bedtime story pulls you through the stench, superstition, and slow collapse of a world too proud to admit it was already sick. You’re not a hero. You’re not even remembered. You’re just… there. Coughing in the walls while the nobility quietly escapes through the back door.
