- The storyteller: Tom Baker -
The year is 1884
These are dark, troubled times
Fraught with greed, envy, and prejudice
It's two world's divided:
Rich and poor, black and white
Master and servant, the living and, (uoh) well, the not quite dead
Oh yes, that's right: the spirit  world
Plays a large part in this story that you are about to hear

Allow me to present
Abby and Daniel
A happy couple
Obviously
Head-over-heels and completely smitten with each other (huh)
Aren't they adorable?
They could not know, of course
That their love was doomed, even as it started
And that fate was about to deal them
The cruelest hand
Imaginable

I feel I should warn you
This tale is not for the faint of heart
Things go dreadfully wrong for our young lovers
The terrible
Horrific sequence of events that's about to unfold here
Will surely be too much for the tender-hearted

There – ha! my duty to you is fulfilled
And you may now proceed
But at your own risk

- Soprano: Dianne van Giersbergen -
