VALENTINE'S DAY CHARITY AUCTION DATE
The evening starts with their arrival in North London, where a private car waits to take them to Alexandra Palace’s Victorian Theatre. The building stands like a shadow of the past, Victorian grandeur decayed into emptiness. It’s midnight, the perfect hour for a theatre that hasn’t felt human footsteps in decades.
Once inside, the theatre is theirs alone. Tolyа guides the way, letting them wander through the aisles and staircases, every creak of the wood underfoot amplified in the space. The shadows and the echo of their own voices feel foreign, like someone else is listening… watching.
A small, hidden box has been prepared with glasses and a bottle of vodka, and a few snacks (pickles and rye bread). Here, they drink, enjoying Tolyа’s magnetic presence.
Then, they explore the stage and the balconies. Tolyа might ‘startle’ his date with a sudden movement from the shadows, a whispered comment, or the thrill of knowing he could be watching from anywhere.
Drinks continue as the night deepens. The theatre becomes a playground: empty seats for climbs, forgotten props to hide behind, the dim light turning ordinary movements into something to be afraid of. The line between date and game, thrill and fear, is always blurred.
Eventually, the night ends not with sleep, but with the quiet aftermath of adrenaline. The evening is brief, intense, and, of course, unforgettable.
