🎄 You're all Invited (PC/NA) 🎄

SirDuckman

The community is what makes us different. Sometimes you see it in zone, here in the forums, or in dungeons. Sure, there are some of those out there, but for the most part… I mean we are all part of some huge family.

These past 3 years, we try to give back to the community by giving a little Christmas Spirit by putting up a full production play from the story by Charles Dickens. And you are all more than welcome to come!

We are not a RP guild. This was a thought, to an idea, to making something work. An ESO Christmas Carol and Trial of the Ages is roughly a 2-hour play, 19 scene changes, that will take you back to the Victorian Age with a twist of ESO in it. Witness how Scrooge starts at the Harborage and how he grows with the Ghosts of Past, Present and Future into the Scrooge we all know today. But one year later, he takes those that transformed him to court. Did Scrooge change? You’ll have to come see.

We are hosting 6 shows this year and if you wish to see this live, either leave a comment with your in-game @ name and showtime, or DM me directly. This is on the PC/NA server. Currently, we have open seats on these days:

Thursday, December 9th at 9:00pm EST - SOLD OUT
Saturday, December 11th at 4:00pm EST - SOLD OUT
Saturday, December 11th at 7:00pm EST - SOLD OUT
Thursday, December 16th at 9:00pm EST - SOLD OUT
Saturday, December 18th at 7:00pm EST - 2 Seats remain
Saturday, December 18th at 10:00pm EST - SOLD OUT
(updated 12/15/21)

And Merry Christmas!

This sounds so insanely cool, and I would love to snag two seats (hubby would like to join me!) for the Thursday, December 16th at 9:00pm EST showing if I can!

@Timorelle for me

@Zedakah for hubby

(We'll totally understand if we were too slow, since that showing currently has the fewest seats left and you might have already promised them to people in-game, but unfortunately it's the only one that can accommodate my work schedule)

Thanks in advance if we get tickets, no worries and have a blast with this even if we don't!

Last night we had our final dress rehearsal in front of a small audience. And we got our first review this year...

Last nights viewing of An ESO Christmas Carol.

The words that come to mind are astonishing, amazing and awesome. The actors were brilliant and the settings were stunning. I feel both honored and blessed to have been the first person to have seen Vanquishes newest version of An ESO Christmas Carol and to be in a guild full of kind and caring people.

Thanks guys for fulfilling my Christmas Wish to see the play twice. Love you all.:heartbeat_anim:

Duck :🦆 Wow, great acting and the sets…. You were able to act as well as change the exquisite backgrounds designed for each part of the play.

Savina : 👑 Thank you so much for your kindness and guidance.

The cast: :peep: The ability to play so many people and go for two hours is impressive. And you’ll be doing this 6 times? Each and every one of you are very talented and had me laughing throughout the play.

Thank you all for giving your time so freely. 💯
Oh! There is a new Christmas song! That alone is worth going for.🎄

To the rest of Vanquish and anyone else, if you have not signed up, do it ASAP. Seats are going fast and it’s totally worth seeing.

This sounds incredible! Will someone be recording this so those of us who can't make it can watch it on the Internets?

We will be recording but it won't be published till after the last show. Takes a little time to get all the editing done and cross all the T's for youtube. We will post it though.

And @Raideen , thank you. You're exactly right!

Last night was Opening Night! Afterwards we received some reviews that I wanted to share. We have 11 seats remaining for live performances on Dec 18th, at 7pm (8 seats) and 10pm (3 seats). Anyway, just wanted to share some words that were given on the Christmas Carol discord.

Auntee: To all of the cast you did a outstanding performance, awesome job. Thank you !!!

Beherenow: I don't have access to the ESO forums, but I've requested it and still wanted to give a HUGE KUDOS to everyone involved with this production in the meantime. One of the most impressive creative pursuits I've ever seen in an online community.

~Acting: Your rich voices gave personality to every character, and I especially enjoyed the accents from all across Tamriel. The complex emotes used to convey your moods really rounded out the performances, even bringing in some momentos for extra punch! The blocking for every scene was thoughtful and made me feel like I was right there in the moment.

~Staging: Gorgeous set dressing and JAW-DROPPING scene changes that were completed in a mere moment - I was stunned at the variety of the sets and the details carefully crafted within. The design made use of the entire space, drawing in the audience when appropriate and then pulling back to give us a huge sense of scale.

~Writing: A lovely balance between the source material that we're all familiar with and lots of in-jokes and nods to ESO lore. Hilarious jokes and touching moments in equal measure, and the overall effect rang true to the spirit of the holidays.

~Professionalism: From gathering in the "lobby" to Savina's steady hand of guidance for the audience, this production was the closest thing you can get to going to a theatre from your desk.

Thank you SO much for sharing your efforts, gifts, and talents with us. I wish you luck and joy for all of your remaining performances!

Foley: Incredible, everyone. One of the best experiences I have had in a while. Congrats on a great, great opening night!

Taeve: The show was totally amazing! The sets! the sound! the script! the voices and acting! the uses of all the extras available with momentoes, furnishings, etc.! Congratulations on your production and thanks for the experience!

We are! I think the recording is at our first show tomorrow if I remember correctly. Will take us some time to get it together though.

What an awesome play that Vanquish put on tonight. Well written and amazing acting. The Stage sets were so well done. Time well spent. And Merry Christmas everyone.

I would love to attend your Saturday, December 18th at 7:00pm EST show! My PC/NA account is @Darkhorse1975
Very exciting, can't wait!

Sindarin

the most amazing show ive seen for a while! u guys are truly awesome!

skeevynix

OMG, I just watched your show on Rich's stream.
Awesome sets, awesome lines, awesome delivery! Thanks SO much for the hard work that went into this. So very entertaining & side-splitting!! xD

SammiSakura

Had the absolute honour & pleasure to catch this evening's performance, through SlashLurk's Stream!

I was excited but didn't know what to expect, & can only say that I was blown away. The production value in such a limited world was amazing, the audience was enthralled from the off & glued to their seats!
Sets = Magical and amazing, switching around at a moments notice.
Actors = 10/10 Making each character their own
Writing = Just amazing. I loved the way ESO and the original story were interwoven, with some jokes and fun in there too. The Trial was a perfect addition!

I honestly don't think I can fault it at all. I play on EU, but sincerely hope I can catch the next years performance!

AzuraFan

Fantastic show with a talented cast and a wonderful creative vision. As an Altmer, I have high standards when it comes to the theatre, and I have to say that the House of Reveries couldn't have done better.

Bravo!

(Set designs were awesome, sound effects were wonderful, every actor's performance was amazing. Great job, everyone!)

calitrumanb14_ESO

Saw Saturday's matinee, what can I say?

The show was a love letter to ESO lore, a big-ticket production with a mind melting number of scenery changes, and a final act script that rivals something produced for television. The voice acting was stand-out all around, maybe could have used a bit more music (during scene changes?), but overall the show was enjoyable and a funny performance to attend.
10 out 10 sweetrolls, if there are any seatings available, you won't go wrong by grabbing one.

Hello everybody,

like a few others i was also lucky enough to see your Christmas Carol on riches Stream. I have stayed up till 4 am to watch it all. It was simply amazing, i was all teared up from laughing at the great humor and stunned by the references to the the game.

The voice acting was so good that i really think some of u are either voice actors, work in theater or something similiar.

Thank you so much for organizing and performing this. You have made my day!

Abstraqt

Wish you had more dates for this!

Hlanu

It was an incredible experience watching yesterday's performance through Rich's stream and it truly had me in tears. Thank you for that. It pushed me to create a character on NA, so I might get to attend an event myself next year. (-:

SirDuckman

Thank you everyone for your comments! I too, watched Rich's stream after just to see it from another perspective. We are all so happy that you enjoyed the show!

LOL, wish we had more time and seating!

@DiscountJaneAusten We are definitely looking forward to seeing you next year then!

What you all had to add, meant so much to the cast and crew! I have shared and pointed them to each comment on here and on Twitter.

For those that still wish to see it live, we ONLY have 3 seats left for the December 18th show at 7pm EST. Contact me, DM me, hit me on discord... all the information is on the first post.

Merry Christmas!
