Could it be a Secret Cinema type gig?

I genuinely can't think of anything I want to do less. That film was repugnant, as were all the characters within.

Such a hideous idea. Apparently some media types got sent fake cocaine (in actuality icing sugar) by way of promotion. "Quaaludes" were in fact mints.

The prices are quite vile as well but at least there is a lottery for £10-£25 but no details of when that will take place.
My partner said it will attract City of London style wankers but I also wonder how long the fetish for 'immersive' can continue. I am seeing expensive shows with long runs offering free or heavily discounted tickets. Even Secret Cinema James Bond still has a lot of tickets to shift and not the sell out it once was.

Attempted to see this last night, the performance got cancelled at the end of the interval, on a side note this was poorly organised and they seemed to me to be more interested in making money (how ironic) than letting their punters know what was going on.
Unlike some of the other immersive theatre shows I've been to (Masque of the Red Death, The Drowned Man, the Jack the Ripper one a couple of years ago) this is very prescriptive in the way you go round, there are no amazing scenes to discover on your own, and rooms go for long periods with no-one in them and are otherwise pretty bare. Is more like the Grimm Fairy Tales show at Bargehouse in that respect. Also though I realise is part of the script, there is a little too much swearing for me, felt more Jerry Springer the Opera.
The lady playing the wife was ill last night so someone else was helping with her lines, which worked well.
Can't comment on the whole thing as didn't see it, but I won't be rushing back based on the first half.

Will be interested to know what others think as to me the problem is the show as much as the space |

Reams and reams of 1-star reviews from audience members on Google. This has disaster written all over it!

Sent a constructive moan email and received one back very quickly saying they were refunding. First time I've ever asked for a refund from a theatre, sad days

Last gripe then I'll keep quiet. My ticket clearly said 7pm start. Was in fact 7.30pm. Meaning sitting around waiting, pure money making exercise

Not being funny but...who in their right mind would give this psychopathic scumbag who ruined thousands of people's lives a cent or a minute of their time?

Credit to the company would appear they are stopping and regrouping, with reduced schedule from Thurs-Sunday with Wednesday performances back in November and Tuesdays in December.
Still incorrect start time on website

Closing on 19 January. £15 tickets available on TodayTix. This must have been a disaster all around.

This must have been a disaster all around. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer person... |
