Pros: The set was absolutely mind-blowing. Cons: There was too much swearing in a script that otherwise flowed quite nicely. From the moment I entered the auditorium at the Arcola, I wished I could take a multi-sensorial picture of the mesmerising set into which I had been welcomed. Immersed in a cloud of incense-perfumed haze, a staircase led up to a red curtain, which was guarded on both sides by Chinese lanterns. Two golden doors and pillars with engraved logograms completed ...

Pros: A well-developed and engaging murder mystery experience in a great venue. With dancing! Cons: There’s a lot of people doing a lot of moving around in a fairly tight space. Two things in life I love very much are immersive theatre and a good murder mystery.

A fun, light-hearted take on dark stories that is dependent on audience interaction; a well-balanced production.

A superbly atmospheric production which is ambitious, bleak, a bit incoherent, but frequently thrilling.

Pros: A wonderful play brought to life by two outstanding actors Cons: At times the American accents wavered John Patrick Shanley’s classic play Danny and the Deep Blue Sea tells the story of Danny and Roberta.

For Danny, he struggles to stop himself ...
