As the famous impresario ''Mario Hartensio di Tassato Mestra'' once quipped, "''In this business, you can make up for almost everything with a big heart, a big smile, and a big pouch of money.''" Eduardo's passing last year was been mourned by many within the theatre industry in Tassato, although the theatrical world being what it is, this grief has been largely overshadowed by the recent demise of the thespian ''Cosmo'' (an actor so egotistical they dropped the appellation "von Sarvos" because they felt it wasn't needed, who was as famous for the aggressive militancy of their fans as for their actual acting ability).

	Regardless, the ''Friends of Eduardo Boschetto'' have engaged '''Eurybia ~~Melendri di Tassato~~''' of the ''Peacock's Tale Theatre'' to stage an adaptation of the would-be playwright's work in honour of his passing. Some of the Friends intend to attend the performance, obviously, but they also have other business. Some of them are quoting a [[statement of principle]] [[384YE_Spring_Equinox_Synod_judgements#Judgement_137\|raised last year]] by '''Alessio Sognatore''' which received some support in the League National Assembly. As a consequence of this, they are interested in speaking to '''Viviane de Coeurdefer''' (or someone speaking on her behalf) to discuss the [[recognition]] of a man who supported so many others to prosper in the arts.

	'''Participation:''' Characters associated with the theatre are encouraged to make up their own stories about Eduardo Boschetto di Tassato Regario if they wish. The larger-than-life figure was relentless in encouraging people - even people with no talent - to embrace the life of the stage. He often used money or connections to help people get their "big break." his own productions, however, were often marked by almost farcical misadventure such as a performance of his self-penned adaptation of ''The Sail of Sarvos'' which saw the entire theatre flooded due to some overenthusiastic special effects, or the universally panned ''Mallum in Winter'' which saw so many actors on stage during a climactic battle scene that the entire stage collapsed sending over two-dozen thespians to the hospital with broken bones.
