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.

Review of Death of the King – An Immersive Punk Murder Mystery
It certainly wasn’t Professor Plum with the candlestick in the ballroom, but that doesn’t mean that something sinister didn’t happen the night Rusty was last seen alive! The old factory just off Borough High Street seems unassuming, but when you knock for entry, make sure you’re ready to jump in feet first because once you’re through the door, you’re in! In 1983, in a derelict rug factory, Rusty is seen alive for the last time after a pretty wild party. 33 years later his body is discovered … [Read more...]
Montagues and Capulets – An Immersive Production – Review
Romeo and Juliet is probably one of the World's most performed plays; I have seen at least ten productions over the years - it remains timeless and if performed well, is a beautiful production. When I heard that Colab Theatre were tackling the piece in their own special way I just had to experience the production for myself! Unlike other Colab productions, there is no tying up of people (well, not the audience/participants anyway) and no gun shots or crawling through dark corridors on your … [Read more...]
