Love-an immersive experience
Performed days leading up to and on Valentines day. Love-an immersive experience was a three course meal and a one on one immersive theatre show. Food was eaten,drinks were shared and the notion of love itself was explored.
Untitled 5/customs

Sonic Survivors

When his best friend is about to get out and the entrance of Rebecca and someone they call 'Mr Big' who is here to change the ward around, but for the better? Sonic Survivors explores what is normal?

A night out like you've never had before. All tickets gets you into the event plus secret PRE and Post show content. WE CAN MAKE A CUSTOM ONE JUST FOR YOU
Tyranny Rolls
Online experience over 4 days, inspired by internet mysteries and ARG'S to find an interesting middle-ground between internet culture and live theatre. This particular show was inspired 'cancel culture' that’s permeating the modern political scene. In my words, they have worked incredibly hard to put together this very impressive and quite complicated package.
Find the time, dust down the laptop and headphones and… immerse yourselves!
