Avon Puppet Theatre

The **Avon Puppet Theatre** is a special location in Lud's Holm where the Wastrels gather to watch a puppet show set up by two other Wastrels. It's involved in two quests, Get the Dolly and Peachy's Final Mission.

## Layout

### Act I

The Avon Puppet Theatre is three stories high. The bottom floor is where the show takes place, the second floor appears to be the living space, and the third floor is where Peachy is set up. When the player enters the building, they can hear two of the actors recite an earlier show.

When the player takes Peachy without disabling the tin can trap first, everyone in the building will hear the alarm and come after them. If everyone in the building is already dead, 5 new Wastrels will spawn.

### Act II

The Avon Puppet Theatre is three stories high. The first floor is divided by a wall into a room and a hallway, the hallway leads to the second floor which can be reached by either climbing the bookcase and bathtub, or by unlocking the door to the stairs. If the player decided to climb to the second floor, they can find a small tea room they need to crawl into to access, on the opposite side is a small room with a chest and inventory expansion. Near the staircase is another staircase leading to the third and final floor, on the final floor is a hallway leading to an altar.

Similarly to Act I, once the player takes the boxing shoes, everyone in the building will be aware of the player's location and come after them.

## Transcript

Open/Close

**Torvald**: When did my squirrel come home?

**Nora**: Just now. Come in here, Torvald, and see what I have bought.

**Torvald**: Don't disturb me. Bought, did you say? All these things? Has my little spendthrift been wasting money again?

**Nora**: Yes but, Torvald, this year we really can let ourselves go a little. This is the first Christmas that we have not needed to economise.

**Torvald**: Still, you know, we can't spend money recklessly.

**Nora**: Yes, Torvald, we may be a wee bit more reckless now, mayn't we? Just a tiny wee bit! You are going to have a big salary and earn lots and lots of money.

**Torvald**: Yes, after the New Year; but then it will be a whole quarter before the salary is due.

**Nora**: Pooh! we can borrow until then.

**Torvald**: Nora! The same little featherhead! Suppose, now, that I borrowed fifty pounds today, and you spent it all in the Christmas week, and then on New Years Eve a slate fell on my head and killed me, and--

**Nora**: Oh! Don't say such horrid things.

**Torvald**: Still, suppose that happened,--what then?

**Nora**: If that were to happen, I don't suppose I should care whether I owed money or not.

**Torvald**: Yes, but what about the people who had lent it?

**Nora**: They? Who would bother about them? I should not know who they were.

**Torvald**: That is like a woman! But seriously, Nora, you know what I think about that. No debt, no borrowing. There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt. We two have kept bravely on the straight road so far, and we will go on the same way for the short time longer that there need be any struggle.

**Nora**: As you please, Torvald.

**Torvald**: Come, come, my little skylark must not droop her wings. What is this! Is my little squirrel out of temper? Nora, what do you think I have got here?

## Trivia

* 'Avon' likely comes from River Avon, a river in the south west of the country.
* The conversation the player can listen in on in Act I is a reference to *The Doll's House*, a play by *Henrik Ibsen*. The play deals with the fate of a married woman who, at the time in Norway, lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fullfilment in a male-dominated world.
