Space Stage
Spinoff of Firefly
An itinerant troupe of Shakespeare actors travel among worlds, performing plays on different planets and hitching rides on spaceships. The characters are a mix of serious actors, refugees from lost cultures, mercenaries looking for an opportunity, wanderers, criminals in hiding, and veterans from both sides of the War. The show follows them on their rambling adventures and unfolds the stories of their past, the dramas of their present, and hopes for the future--set against the backdrop of a post-war, multi-cultural universe.
Inspired by this tempting quote from Joss Whedon: "I had planned to do an episode of Firefly with Amy and Alexis and James Marsters as part of a traveling Shakespeare troupe. Because it’s sort of a staple of the John Ford westerns is that there’s always that over-the-top theatre guy, and I thought it would be terrific having them trying to put on a play in the cargo bay. But, I don’t know if you know this, but we were cancelled; so I didn’t get to do it."
The Director is John Anders, from Osiris, who rejected his family's wealth and prestige to follow his dream to travel among worlds directing Shakespeare plays. He is exacting, self-absorbed, but truly dedicated to his craft. He has an unrequited love for...
Angelina Braccardo, the troupe's ingenue, from the planet Persephone. The sweetness she brings to the roles she plays is undercut by her ambition; her plan is to gain experience with the traveling troupe so she can get a permanent position with a theater back on her home world. She not-so-secretly hankers after...
Goren Jova, who most often plays the villain. He also hails from Persephone, but the more rough-and-tumble part of that world. He is somehow related to known crime boss Badger, and may be traveling with the troupe to scope out opportunities for the family business. Meanwhile, he has his eye on the position of...
The hero, Argus Spektor, a serious actor with a marvelous stage presence, but an unsettling knowledge of firearms, interplanetary politics, and the ways of The Alliance. His background is a mystery, which he cagily persists in hiding from...
Paolo Modesti, the anti-hero and character actor. His ability to play a wide range of roles, and multiple roles within a play, make him a valuable addition to any troupe. But his interest seems to lie more in trying to learn more about his fellow actors, and those that run the troupe...
Producer Martin Avenour and troupe sponsor Anna Freemason, who may or may not be using the troupe for nefarious purposes.
