Spy City is immersive theatre meets escape room: but does it deliver a bigger punch than each of these alone? Escape rooms are already taking the sense of agency, so important in immersive theatre, one step further. They place participants right in the centre of the action. This production aims to blend the two: full agency with a strong story carrying it through. If you’ve never been to either then it’s worth knowing that you shouldn’t expect to sit down and watch this show. Instead, … [Read more...]

Flabbergast Theatre’s immersive production of The Swell Mob
An evening spent in the company of a gang of ruthless Victorian cutpurses - what could possibly be better? Sarcasm aside, the answer is - not much. For Flabbergast Theatre’s immersive production of The Swell Mob is so much more than just a play about pick-pockets. To begin with, when they say immersive, they really mean it. This isn’t one of those productions where the company get members of the audience to hold props for them, or shout out suggestions. No, from the minute you step over the … [Read more...]
Night Of The Living Dead Live! at The Pleasance Theatre
As a huge, huge fan of George R Romero’s work and with his sad passing in 2017 (without coming back in the style of his creations, disappointingly), I was excited to see a theatrical adaption of the ground-breaking film Night of the Living Dead advertised at the Pleasance Theatre.

Operation Black Antler at the Southbank Centre | Review
I love immersive theatre. In my time writing reviews, I have experienced many immersive theatre shows. I’ve survived a zombie apocalypse, hunted for Jack the Ripper, lost my sense of sight and trained as a WWII spy. But of all the immersive shows I’ve been involved with, Operation Black Antler is the most unusual and thought-provoking production so far. For obvious reasons, I can’t go into detail about Operation Black Antler, but I can give you an idea of what happens taken from the … [Read more...]
Review of immersive drama The White Plague at Landor Space
Immersive theatre is one of the most difficult to describe in a review. Probably more than any other type of theatrical production, immersive theatre is exceptionally personal to the person experiencing it. So it is with the latest immersive theatre show to hit London, but I will try my best to give you an idea of what it is like to live through The White Plague at the Landor Space. Things start off nice and gently when you arrive and are given a name tag which describes something about you - … [Read more...]
