Tripd v The Dragon synopsis

I've posted before about what a great time I had seeing Tripod perform their D&D folk-opera, "Tripod vs The Dragon" at MassMOCA several months ago. When the soundtrack came out, I was really excited, but realized that one of the problematic strengths/weaknesses of the show is that it actually has a good story, but said story is not well-conveyed by the music alone (they've confirmed that a DVD will happen eventually, and I'm looking forward to that). So, I sent them a message on FB saying that I think people who didn't get to see the show live would enjoy the soundtrack more if the songs had context by way of a synopsis. ...and then they wrote one and sent it to me. :)

So, without further ado, a synopsis of TvD lies below the cut. Also, the soundtrack is currently setting for a measly $7 on Amazon's MP3 store.

Spoiler Alert! )

EDTM Sold out!

Well, not "sold out", exactly, as you can only "reserve" tickets to be purchased at the door. If you haven't already reserved one, then be warned that you may not get in. However, if you are willing to risk a wasted trip to MIT, follow the instructions on the reservations site and if someone who has reserved a ticket doesn't show, which I'm told happens regularly, you can get on the waiting list to pick it up. You'll have to be there at showtime either way, though.


I am both :D and :( about this.
