Medea
Sept
16
to 27 Sept

Medea

Euripides’ play Medea serves as the point of departure for this one-woman show that can be performed with multiple actors. Maddy’s expectations of Santa Fe, New Mexico are falling short. She’s isolated, her Youtube channel is stalling out, and her husband, Jay, is leaving her for another woman. All without a second thought for their daughter, Bella, who Maddy feels further away from than ever right at the moment Bella begins puberty. In rage, Maddy acts out and puts her family in danger. With those she cares about most remaking their lives without her, Maddy starts plotting her revenge - sleeping with a long time protege, lashing out at lawyers, and opening up old wounds. Teetering on the edge, Maddy clings to her spiritual practice. When it becomes clear Jay will not take her back, she chooses to do anything, including taking a life, to prove she’s worth it.

Creature - the most exclusive immersive experience in London this year. One audience member. One experience.

From Peter Broughton (Co-Creator and Associate Director of Bacchanalia) comes a fusion of puppetry and immersive theatre, inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

"I told you I would be with you on your wedding night. And here I am, as promised."

Duration: 40-45 minutes

This experience is designed for one guest at a time.

Switch off and put away all devices; stay seated and do not touch anything.

You may be moved and touched by performers.

Dream Cage

  • Google Calendar ICS

For twenty minutes, in a dreamworld built for two, a performance unfolds. Not of spectacle, but of attention and curiosity. DREAM CAGE is a tender framework for an intimate encounter, treating the landscape of a dream as the most precious of materials.

It is a one-to-one ritual that asks: What happens when the sound a dream makes is given a voice?

An interaction with dreaming and the spaces in-between awaits.

A Note for Audience Participants:

Audience participants are welcome to bring a recent or recurring dream to the performance in mind. However, this is not required, as a participant may also arrive with nothing at all.

Participants will not be asked to share the specific content or story of their dream. This information may be kept entirely to themselves; however, if a participant wishes to share some of it, that is all right too.

The Spy of the Year Awards is the most important night in any spy’s calendar, but this year’s celebrations are threatened when a shady organisation begins leaking top secret information. Even worse: one of the agents at your table is the leak. Together, can you get past personal vendettas, messy histories and emotional revelations to uncover the leak before the end of the night?

Fresh from sold-out runs in LA, Chicago, and London’s own Voidspace Festival, Spy of the Year is an original Jubensha led by a live actor, blending role-play with puzzle solving and hidden traitor games. A strictly limited capacity of six players will face challenges, swap secrets and solve mysteries as the clock ticks down.

Whether you’re a James Bond, an Ethan Hunt or a George Smiley, get ready to uncover the truth…

Come Fortune! Let’s play a game. It’s only money... Inspired by Timon of Athens, one of Shakespeare’s least known works, Timonopoly is a unique experience, a game, a show, an event. Play a game with Fortune and see how easily any of us can fall through the cracks of society... whoops! Brite Theater continue to push the immersive envelope, creating ever more daring audience-specific work and bold adaptations of classical material. The long-anticipated final instalment of the multi award-winning Coward Conscience trilogy, following Richard III (a one-person show) and Hamlet (an experience), Timonopoly is fresh from a successful first run at Edinburgh Fringe.

Written and performed by Emily Carding, Directed by Kolbrun Bjort Sigfusdottir, Game Design by Arlo Howard.

Edinburgh Fringe Theatre Award Winner

“This show is silly fun with a serious heart, pointing to human connection as the antidote to faceless capitalism.” **** All Edinburgh Theatre

“This is a barking-mad yet indisputably genius idea” **** The Wee Review

“Like Brite’s previous works, Richard III (a one-person show), and Hamlet (an experience), we strongly believe that this will be a show that people are still talking about and participating in for years to come” **** Starburst Magazine

Evil Ex Game: Spill The Tea Immersive Experience

  • SE1 9HB London, England, SE1 9HB (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Madame X invites you to her tea parlour for an intimate evening of storytelling, gossip, and connection. She’s offered to facilitate a special version of “The Evil Ex Game”—an obscure party game she came across this past July.* According to its rulebook, players must “share the best stories about their worst dates.” How provocative!

At its heart, the game is simple: Draw a card, overshare, vote for the best story, rinse and repeat.

However, as with everything that piques Madame’s interest, there’s more to this game than meets the eye. Perhaps your neighbor steals your card, or worse, your story!

And speaking of stories... Bear in mind that Madame only serves tea to patrons with particularly scandalous (hi)stories.

Will you spill the tea?

RSVP now.

*Despite its title, The Evil Ex Game is about romance and dating in general and (Evil) Exes are not required to play.

https://evilexgame.com/

The Evil Ex Game is an original game by Jet Vellinga

Running time: 90 minutes

17+. What is shared in the parlour stays in the parlour.

Apocalypse

Apocalypse

The End Has Come. Will You Survive It?

The world outside is lost — the husks roam, the infected devour, and every choice means life or death. Humanity’s last survivors have gathered in the bunker, but safety comes at a price. Trust is fragile. Secrets run deep. And sabotage is never far away.

Apocalypse isn’t just a game. It’s a live-action survival horror experience where you and your fellow survivors are thrown into the final days of civilization. You’ll forge uneasy alliances, solve desperate challenges, and fight to prove your worth — because when the bunker doors close, not everyone gets to stay inside.

Step into a world of fear, strategy, and betrayal. Feel the tension rise. Hear the husks scratching at the walls.

When survival is on the line, how far will you go?

Age: 13+

Office of Terrestrial Confusion - Tunnel 1

A debriefing on Earth’s most unstable export.

Welcome back to HQ. Your exposure to the human construct known as “COOL” has been confirmed. You arrive here as both expert witness and data point.

Preliminary findings remain inconclusive. Contradictions persist. Some insist “COOL” is a resource, others a performance, a weapon, or simply an elaborate Earth joke. Your testimony will decide which version survives.

Your mission is to distil its components and trace its patterns: where it appears, who names it, who carries it, how it mutates across borders, fashions, and generations.

Working in pods under live supervision, you will classify specimens, perform field tests, and debate paradoxes. Will you argue? Will you contradict each other? Will you contradict yourselves?

This is a participatory research facility. All findings will be archived by the Office of Terrestrial Confusion to prepare the next upcoming missions to Earth.

Observation commences now.
