24:32 No no, you were right, Byron is very much in love with Jasper. Now, in Byron's defense, Fay never told him that Jasper was his grandfather (and Edgar died, so he couldn't have told him either). As far as Byron knew, Jasper was just some guy who lived in their house.

Someone really should have told him the doll housed the soul of his own grandfather but I guess they never expected him to develop a romantic fixation for it. Although it's a bit funny that it never occurred to him the doll may have some relation to him, because how many would keep around a doll that housed the soul of a random person? (Maybe... more than I expect)

So Paul Shapera actually did do a Q&A just before the atompunk album came out and addressed this. If memory serves, Byron didn't know Jasper was his grandpa??? But also, Shapera did genuinely intend for it to be a replacement for fatherly love. In a moment of absolute hilarity, it wasn't until that moment on stage when someone asked him about it that he realized right then and there that he accidentally wrote it in a way that could be preeetty hardcore misconstrued. Bless the audience, too, nobody really seemed to have the heart to tell him that it was the *common* belief that it'd been intentionally written to look very much like an actual ship. This poor man clearly doesn't go onto any sort of internet fandoms nearly enough.

Prepare to dive down, down, down, into the rabbit hole of the Shaperaverse. Dolls of New Albion: A Steampunk Opera came out in 2012. Since then, over 35 albums (plus a few predating it) have come out, a few books, a podcast, and in July a cabaret live-show just wrapped up the story from the first album chronologically till now... and Paul Shapera is going on to the next story (still connected to all the original albums, but without the same Posthumans) with a space opera.

Oh man this was a (welcome) jumpscare to see on my reccs. As someone who has been deeply hyperfixated on all of Paul Shapera's works (the Shaperaverse) for quite some time, I'm excited to watch this. There's a ton of stuff under his belt, all interconnected in some way or another and it's all so very good. (And if anyone is looking to get into it, the first part of the Shaperaverse has just wrapped up and we're getting ready to enter a new era, his upcoming Space Opera set far in the future. Be warned. There's /a lot/ of stuff to listen to, to Get everything.)

It's amazing to hear more people learn about the Shaperaverse. I'm a huge New Albion fan, to the point of doing a two year long dnd campaign in the setting, pretty much going over the tetrology of the operas with my best friend and sisters. Aaand I'm planning on jumping back in in a different play style, this one more the Ballad of Lost Hollow. Edit: Also you'll be happy to know in the campaign Byron was dragged into the flames of his burning house by a Dollified Fay, off screen. The party learns about it over the radio.

I looked up the musical again, and stumbled on this, and just wanted to say that it's a real delight. I haven't looked at Shapera's other work much, but really should. I appreciate that you are so passionate about it, and I especially appreciated what you said about "weird" art. I absolutely agree that you should support obscure artists doing something different. You really made my day.

You said you did an hour long video on TMA, and now no other video will suffice until I've watched it!

Omg. I just recently found your channel (And have been binge watching for days now), loving every bit of it and now I see that you recap and review Dolls of New Albion! A musical i've never seen anyone else ever friggin' know. I love it here.

Is this now the Paul Shapera appreciation channel? You have to do Kevin & Abi and the Secret of the Golden Pendant next. With a section on why The Confession is such a banger

Oh man, someone finally talked about that one musical that I came across when I got weirdly into steampunk music almost a decade ago, listen to a bunch, never watched and forgot about. This was really cool.

I think I have heard of this it started showing up on my Spotify and because A strange woman raising the dead fits a Larp character I'm working on I put it in her playlist. I always wanted to look it up but it's on long car rides that I'm driving and i haven't remembered so happy i found you videos

Great video! I love Paul Shapera musicals so much, because from my experience people either don't like it, or have a big wall covered in pictures and red string after having listened to all gajilion musicals. There is no in between.
