Based in the territory of the New California Republic, the Settlement of Filly recently experienced a conflict between the primary residents (survivors/cowboys) and a group of do-good Vault Dwellers from Vault 33 who tried to impose themselves to “rebuild” America.The play begins with Richard (a ghoul-like character based on "Walton Goggins meets Laurence Olivier") shot-gunning two Vault Dwellers who were on their way to the Settlement.

On April 22, 2023, our founder Northern_Harvest was a keynote speaker at the All the World's a Stage conference out of the University of Liverpool. North delivered closing remarks to participants at the conference, thanking them for all the work they do as Shakespeare scholars, students, and academics in confronting some of the difficult themes, language, and subjects found in The Bard's work."So here we are, with excitement and vigour, and a growing number of people re-discovering or discovering Shakespeare for the first time, just doing it. But we sure can’t do it without the deep, thoughtful, passionate work that you all do, that helps us navigate the complexities, perceived barriers, and questions we have as video game players as we journey along in our massively multiplayer online open world stage."

We are so honoured to have been profiled by The Guardian in their Games and Stage column! The Guardian is one of the biggest news publication in the world, and saw value in our unique theatre troupe's use of the video game as a digital performance space for Shakespeare.
