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 […]

The event is described as follows: The event takes place in a darkly lit room, with four carnival type set ups […]
This week I was very kindly given free tickets to see Bill Bailey’s #qualmpeddler at the Hammersmith Apollo. It was my first Apollo experience and also my first Bill Bailey experience. Bailey opened with a brief social commentary video (that would not be out of place tacked on to the “because I read it in […]
Last Sunday I had the pleasure of seeing Jeremy Herrin’s adaptation of The Tempest of London’s Globe Theatre. I previously had seen both Tim Carroll’s and Lenka Udovivki’s versions of the Tempest, both excellent productions, so approached the show thinking it would be hard for Herrin to top the previous versions. The truth is, he […]
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 […]
