This is a theatrical thesis project created by students from the Department of Speech Communication and Performing Arts, Performing Arts Communication Program, Faculty of Communication Arts, Chulalongkorn University. We aim for this theatrical performance to serve as a mirror reflecting society, opening perspectives on providing second chances to those who have committed offenses and already paid for their mistakes. We want to enable them to return to living valuable lives without stigma or discrimination, because we believe that every life can start anew and become a positive part of society.

In the year 1816, during the Regency era, tragedy struck the Crimson family, one of the most influential aristocratic houses in London. Viscount Rufous Crimson, the head of the family, was found dead in his private chambers. The authorities ruled his death as natural. However, just over a week after the incident, the family’s middle son, Lord Garnet Crimson, suddenly confessed to the murder. He refused to say another word, offering no explanation for his actions. This case soon caught the attention of Walter, a crime investigator who found the circumstances highly suspicious. The family’s apparent indifference—along with their swift decision to send Garnet to prison—only deepened his doubts. Determined to uncover the truth, Walter devised a plan. Using the Crimson family’s annual estate auction—an event that gathered all key suspects in one place—he set the stage for his investigation. This was his chance to expose the dark secrets buried within Crimson Manor.
