Nestled in Lewis Cubitt Square in King's Cross you’ll find three, unassuming, white shipping containers, each with a word painted on it; “SÉANCE,” “FLIGHT” and “COMA”. Inside, three intense and immersive shows form part of Darkfield, an anthology that brings us closer to some of our greatest fears as humans, in life and in death. Though each container has its own theme, there is definitely an overarching subtext of Darkfield and they make us question what is real and our sanity. All the shows … [Read more...]

Spree by Myriad Immersive at the Vault Festival | Review
I’ve been going to the Vaults Festival in Waterloo for the past few years and was always intrigued by the portacabin at the junction of Lower Marsh and the Leake Street tunnel which is used as performance space. This year it’s been taken over by Myriad Immersive to put on Spree a piece of immersive theatre which to quote their promotion material is: 'An intimate immersive experience inspired by the hit Netflix series Mindhunter and pioneering crime podcast Serial'. You and your team are agents … [Read more...]
CROOKS 1926 at King William IV, London | Review
I had not, until last night, had the pleasure of experiencing COLAB Theatre's work and, having now done so, I am mourning my wasted time.

On our entrance into the working-class pub that would serve as our venue for the night, the atmosphere and sense of foreboding is built … [Read more...]
Vox Vanguard’s immersive performance of The Nutcracker
There are staples of Christmas theatre: pantomimes, Dickens, picture book adaptations and, of course, The Nutcracker. There's joy in the familiar, but also a sense of stasis - cycles repeating and not moving forward. Vox Vanguard's production revels in the former while firmly rejecting the latter: this is The Nutcracker reimagined. Firstly - the setting. It’s not immersive, per se (a label everyone seems to want to attach to their productions these days), but in the round, making use of the … [Read more...]
A Christmas Carol at Scrooge’s Parlour, Immersive | LDN
Fitting neatly into the Christmas work party space, the immersive A Christmas Carol is a good excuse for a meal, with a cheerful dollop of Dickens on top. Jack Witham's Jacob Marley introduces us to the affair. We're cast as spirits hired to spook the miserly Scrooge (Alexander Barclay) into changing his bah-humbug attitude to Xmas. You know the drill. It's a fun, innovative setup for the immersive element, giving plenty of excuses for moments of interaction. Little excuse seems to be … [Read more...]
