Punchdrunk Announces 'Viola's Room', A New Intimate Immersive Show

Set to open in May at Woolwich HQ, the show promises a unique experience blending audio-driven storytelling with a maze-like installation.

  • 'Viola's Room' is inspired by Barry Pain’s gothic tale 'The Moon-Slave', reimagined by Booker Prize-shortlisted writer Daisy Johnson.
  • The intimate experience is designed for groups of up to six, guiding them through a sensory journey barefoot and with headphones.
  • Described as a 'moonlit fever dream', the show marks a departure from Punchdrunk's previous large-scale immersive productions.
  • Tickets for the previews are priced at £12.50, aiming to make the experience accessible amidst concerns over rising theatre costs.
  • The production represents the beginning of a new era for Punchdrunk, exploring uncharted landscapes in immersive theatre.
