Punchdrunk – the company that pioneered the breakthrough of immersive theatre in the UK – announces an extension of Viola’s Room…
Wednesday performances now start from 2pm, playing through to 8:20pm to welcome families in the summer holidays. Viola’s Room is categorised as PG13 and is suitable for adventurous teenagers.
Barefoot, and wearing headphones, small groups of up to six at a time feel their way through a maze-like installation as an unseen narrator guides them on a sensory journey to reveal a story of innocence lost and obsession unleashed.
Written by Booker Prize-shortlisted Daisy Johnson, Viola’s Room reimagines Barry Pain’s classic gothic mystery The Moon-Slave for a new audience. It distils two decades of Punchdrunk’s immersive practice into an intimate, linear, audio-driven adventure that promises to suffuse the dreams of those who dare to follow the light.
Viola’s Room is based at Punchdrunk’s home at One Cartridge Place, Woolwich.
