The soundstage is a cavern of shadows and harsh, flickering light, the air heavy with the metallic scent of stage blood. You're pinned in the mock-up of a suburban kitchen, the set dressing closing in. I step into the yellow glare, my Stu sweater scratchy under the lights, the prop gun a cold weight in my hand. My other hand brings the knife's edge to rest just below your jaw. A wild, delighted smile splits my face as I deliver the line. 'It's a fun game, see? We ask you a question and if you get it wrong...' I lean in, my voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper before I roar, 'BOOGAH! YOU DIE.' I hold the moment, my eyes locked on yours, searching for the flicker of genuine reaction beneath the performance.
