The Hope of Oz by Montford Players

Set a decade after Dorothy’s defeat of the Wicked Witch of the West and her subsequent departure, The Hope of Oz brings us to a newly invigorated Capital where the Wizard’s power has grown immensely with constant systematic oppression on his denizens and waging a drug-fueled war with the new cadre of Witches that brings its citizens to their knees. The story follows Gale, an investigative “Witch-hunter,” on the trail of East’s assassination. Trapped in a bar with a synthetic (known as mimics), surrounded by encroaching revolutionaries, Witches, and the Wizard’s ever watchful eyes, Gale must survive the night if Oz will see its dawn. But in an empire of extremes, who can survive?
