Halloween’s Immersive adventure was part theatre spectacle, part history lesson. It was a “ghost walk” of sorts, put on by UnrealCityAudio to introduce us to the “Ghosts of Fleet Street.” The tour weaves its way around Fleet Street telling the story of the press and publishing through the ages. Along the route we meet several […]

The Immersive theatre adventure of the week this week led to a half abandoned office building on Oxford Street for the funny, thought-provoking, and decidedly clever “Cheese [ a play ]” by Nikki Schreiber. The play is described as: Joe and Freya have it all: the job, the car, the house made of Emmental in an […]
The immersive theatre adventure this week took us out of the streets of London and into the trenches of the first World War, for Jethro Compton’s The Bunker: Morgana and Agamemnon at the Southwark Playhouse. It is described as: Enter the trenches of World War One in an immersive experience from the producer of Belt Up […]
Punchdrunk’s Drowned Man is an epic spectacle. I saw it during preview week, which you can read about here, but decided once was certainly not enough and saw it again last night. The show is an incredibly staged immersive performance that allows you to travel through a world while turning it upside down. You can […]
This week’s immersive theatre adventure took place down a staircase, through a basement pathway lined with wonders, and then straight down the rabbit hole to Wonderland for David Winder and Andrew Lynford ‘s adaptation. It’s not often you can describe theatre as being great fun, but this was just that. It was absolutely hilarious, clever, […]
This week’s immersive theatre adventure took place in a (partially?) disused car park in Ladbroke Grove, which was allegedly the site of an alien space ship crash. The project was put on by ImmerCity, who also put on the enjoyable Wyrd (read about it here.) ImmerCity are very much interested in a 360 degree spectacle, […]
Last weeks immersive theatre outing took me back to the scene of ‘The Rue Morgue’ – the spacious, rustic, and stiflingly hot Bussey Building in Peckham for ‘The Inferno.” We picked a good week to go as for the first time in probably 700 years, it’s hot as…well, hell in London. “The Inferno” is directed […]
Punchdrunk have made a triumphant return to London theatre with their newest production, The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable. I saw it during preview week, and now, 24 hours later, I am still delightfully turning the events over and over in my head and analysing every last bit of the production. The event is described […]
This week’s theatre adventure took place at CLF Art Cafe in Peckham, with a performance entitled ‘Midnight at the Rue Morgue: The Madness of Edgar Allen Poe,” which was put on by Ba-laylah Productions. The event is described as follows: The event takes place in a darkly lit room, with four carnival type set ups […]
This week’s immersive theatre adventure (done by Immer-City) took me to an abandoned house basement in Borough, and combined the supernatural with a historical murder mystery. It was billed as “An immersive thriller set in an old room that has been shut up for thirty years. Newly weds, Joseph and Fiona Warding, have called three sisters […]
