"Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury.
Welcome to the Magic Theatre! Home of the Bizarre."
The usual crowds passed through; Gogh and Lautrec were at their usual heated selves, with the haze of the green menace fuelling their conversation in a cloud of pipe smoke, which helped with the ambience of the seedy lamplight atmosphere.
As the night crept on, faces melted into one another from the mix of absinthe and laudanum. Baudelaire, Rossetti and Poe were trading tincture for tall, twisted, tripping tales on the top table opposite. Too many poppy teas? Certainly one too many for Lizzy Siddal, Dante was distraught.
Girls waited on tables for tips. Tables occupied by groups of men or men with their mistresses, tucked away in dark corners. Not many wives at the Magic Theatre, lots of daughters though. (Someone's daughters?)
Finally the opiate would level out, the nausea lifted, leaving one feeling as though wrapped in the weft and weave of a warm woollen blanket.
Then the Green Faeries would creep up and cast their spell. As one sense dulled another was heightened. Colour and sound would intensify. Black became rich as pitch, red bright as fire. Degas, Gaugan, Jarry, Manet, Poe, Wilde, they all shared this place at one time or another.
The smell, the noise. The noise became a cacophony of shifting sounds, almost impossible to focus.
The lights dimmed, the stage would come to life, music would fill the theatre. Next a rush and blur of black lace and red satin would snap you back into the room. Finally! something to focus on.
