May Playset of the Month: Salem 1692

May Playset of the Month is Salem 1692!

After the New Year dawned on 1692, strange afflictions have beset many of the young girls in Salem. Thought to be the precocious nonsense of children, they now suffer episodes of violence and terrifying abuse at the hands of unseen forces. Their forbidden games have brought this onslaught, and they have learned them at the hands of their very neighbors and servants.

Inevitable accusations have now followed. As young as five to as old as eighty, no resident of Salem Village or the surrounding townships, good Christians or no, old or young, are safe from the witch hunt.

1692 will be a year of misery and death for all of Salem Village. Truly, spells and stories are not simple children’s games.

This is another great playset by Logan Bonner in collaboration with the excellent Lillian Cohen-Moore.

April Playset of the Month: Hollywood Wives

Our April Playset of the Month is Hollywood Wives, courtesy of Jobe Bittman:

Palm tree-lined streets. Glittering beaches, movie star neighbors— Beverly Hills, California.

You all lead lives of fabulous luxury and wealth. Armani handbags, Louboutin shoes, jewelry by Neil Lane, personal chefs, the best bodies money can buy—you have it all. You’re living the southern Califonia dream. Your days are spent shopping on Rodeo Drive and your nights revolve around dining with your girlfriends at the trendy hot spot du jour.

Either that, or you clean up the mess those people leave behind.

Regardless, the glamorous life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The mansion’s almost in foreclosure, your financial advisors are running a Ponzi scheme, and the your philandering husband is banging the nanny. You can’t lose it all now. If only there was some way to make all your problems disappear… forever.

Inspired by shows like Desperate Housewives and films such as Get Shorty and Intolerable Cruelty, this playset is a cynical love letter to Los Angeles, followed immediately by the inevitable divorce papers.
