Flying pizzas, flying chairs, flying five pound notes. No wonder the seaside town of Wellstone is in turmoil. The sergeant is convinced it’s ghosts: it’s certainly a baffling case for Inspector Tate (Owen Bleach). And he’s not too happy when London sends down his nemesis, the mysterious Rodriguez (Flo Wiedenbach) to investigate the disappearance of an American waitress (a powerful performance from Lexie Baker). It seems everything centres around Norwegian resident Tom Marvel (Halvor Schulz), who has suddenly gained miraculous ...

A man is found murdered shortly after the ...

Clancy Flynn Directed by Rosanna Mallinson ★★★★★ Pros: The best immersive theatre I’ve seen in a very long time. Cons: The murder mystery style acting isn’t to everyone’s tastes.  Our Verdict: Be inside a horror film: a fabulously fun evening that gets under your skin. You’ll be talking about this one for a while. Courtesy of Immercity Waiting for a show to start has never made me so excited. This immersive performance begins the moment you arrive, with the actors ...
