God Rest Ye Merry (2015)
- dijit 8y agoThe site is creaking under the weight of hackernews.
- praptak 8y agoINHO 250 GBP is a steal for this kind of experience. There are more expensive shows where you sit on your ass as part of the audience and just watch other people perform.

- jhbadger 8y agoThe idea of such an event is fascinating and I enjoyed reading about it. Although one comment on the site points to a difference between American and British culture: they say they set the story in the 1950s because it is "a 'vanished decade' in pop culture". Which is odd because in the US it is perhaps the most cliched decade thanks to things like "Happy Days", "Grease", faux-1950s diners like Johnny Rocket's, etc.
- acheron 8y agoThat should be “God Rest You Merry”. ‘Ye’ is a subject pronoun. The subject of the phrase is ‘God’. Now diagram the sentence five times, due in class next week.
- doomrobo 8y agoCan't it be read as "God rest the merry"? That parses just fine.
- a1369209993 8y agoIn that case it's a typo, and should be spelled "God Rest Þe Merry", with a latin^Wenglish capital letter thorn, rather than a Y, which was used as a substitute when using early german printing type that didn't include the thorn character. Unless you're actively trying to write in Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe, in which case go ahead.
- nickthemagicman 8y agoThis is totally cool. I wish there were more events like this. Disney meets escape rooms meets The Mysterious Package Company. I bet there's a huge market for botique entertainment like this.
- suscipit 8y agoIf that is the steal kind so there are a lot of new things in it and this can be fascinating as this is quite impressive a swell.
