FANCAST AND FEARS 6

Hi folks, 

Wishing you all the very best for the holiday season from everyone at Rusty Towers! 

Early Access tomorrow is for the latest Rusty Fears. This week's episode is titled Hades Bay this story was written by Jubilee Finnegan. This episode is performed by Anusia Battersby (Gwendolyn Bouchard). The prompt for this winning entry was “Beach”. We hope you are all enjoying Rusty Fears 6. This round of fears is particularly exciting as after the last story has been shared to the public, we will run a public poll so that you the fans can vote on their favourite Rusty Fears 6 story. The winner of this poll will have the opportunity to write a case for The Magnus Protocol that will be included in season 3 of the show and be an official guest writer for that episode. 

The Magnus Protocol Fancast! Thank you for attending lasts weeks stream with host Lowri (Celia) and special guests Shahan Hamza (Samama) and Billie Hindle (Alice). The fancast is a stretch goal that was unlocked during our record-breaking Kickstarter campaign for The Magnus Protocol. During each fancast host Lowri Ann Davies and a rotating selection of guests from The Magnus Protocol cast listen to three episodes live. The three episodes are chosen by Kickstarter Backers and Patreons. Lowri and guests chat and answer questions from viewers! Apologies for some small technical issues throughout the last stream they appear to be caused by uncontrollable issues with power loss at host Lowri’s home. You can catch the VOD to the fancast now here. The VODs of the livestream will eventually be made more widely available at a later date.

Lastly, in case you missed it We have a live show coming next year to London’s Clapham Grand Theatre next year. Alex and Jonny have been hard at work writing, there was even our first table reading. Meanwhile Alex, April, Callum, Hannah and Jess took a group visit and tour of the venue the last week to help with further planning. They particularly enjoyed going deep below the building to check out their room of mysteries filled with old props and costumes as well as checking out the lighting and sound systems. The building itself has really great vibes for the world of magnus and one of the first things that came to mind was TMP5 – Personal Screening. Two dates for Magnus live: The Hilltop have now completely sold out but there are tickets remaining for the third and final date at The Clapham Grand on November 5th 2025 you if you want to a chance to see what is shaping up to be a truly thrilling experience in 2025 you can grab tickets here. 

Have a good week all!
