IMMERSIVE

In this immersive theatre event, you, the audience, are not a passive bystander. You are part of the story. We believe this is an exciting way to have new and engaging experiences.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

You are not expected to perform, but you can expect the performers to interact and come into contact with you. You'll be walking, standing and sitting in various scenes. We will provide refreshments for you at certain times during the event.
