Katorga

They say that your entire life can change in an instant – one decision can alter the course of eternity and shape the destiny of a family for generations to come.

But what if you could go back and do things differently? What if Buffy Summers never came to Sunnydale?

Enter an alternate universe where Fundays never stopped and the Katorgas reign supreme…where Pakhan Alexei Katorga and his heir Nikolai are set to host the most brazen, bloodthirsty and bawdy gathering of the Seven Families in decades.

With daughter/lover Lorelei and his wife Asinoe by his side, Nikolai has been groomed to take over the Katorga empire and usher in a whole new era of brotherhood and blood beneath his father’s banner. But there are rumblings in the ranks – regime changes are never easy, and with a host of half-brothers, cousins, children and lovers all vying for power and baying for blood, the younger King Katorga will be lucky to last the night of his initiation.

Even if the old man DOES go quietly.

They say there ain’t no party like a Katorga party and this June the Burlesque Underground will put that to the test. With live action roleplay all night, pop up burlesque, cabaret, roving performances and a fucktonne of Russians…what more could you ask for?

Except maybe vodka.
Lots of vodka.
