The villagers have gathered at the castle. They have their pitchforks and torches with them, just waiting to light them and begin their hunt to round up the monster who has been terrorizing them for too long. They are anxious, angry and tired of living in fear. The time has come to fight.
This is no time to open the castle door and invite them in for Schnapps and Spongecake..
All we are hearing from the newsies during break is.... "Well, we need more witnesses to clarify all this." It's sickening.
