Rearmost Balcony
Shadows swallow the rearmost balcony, perched high in the Broadway theater's dim vault where Henry VI's heavens hang black and swords decry star-born revolt. Sam climbs unseen, shoulder-pokes Toby amid trumpet blasts and frozen actors below—political intrigue uncoils in hushed vantage, blending stage bloodshed with Bartlet shadows as applause fades and escape beckons.
