Henry V with theatre delicatessen -

In a ruined city far from home, Henry's army waits. Depleted by sickness, siege and attack they cluster in their wretched bunkers, waiting for dawn...and the vast might of the French

The Motor Show should be good fun, I saw their previous show, Electric Hotel with the Barbican at a disused site at King's Cross.

FOUR STARS Time Out Critics Choice

You are invited by the Small Town Historian to don hat and badge to become a citizen in a recreation of the most momentous week in the history of A Small Town Anywhere.

The recreation starts at 7:30pm, but doors to Le Salon open at 6.30pm and the sooner you arrive, the more history you’ll have in the Town.

Coney’s 2009 hit piece of theatre for playing audiences is an examination of community under pressure. It returns to scratch as a lighter and more responsive version for travelling.

Early Days of a Better Nation

May 11, 2012
7:30pm

The revolution is over. It is time to start shaping your new nation. What are the rules we want to live by? Who leads us? Why are we a country at all?

Early Days of a Better Nation is about the opportunity to start again. A theatrical exploration of the nature and limitations of democracy, which may - or may not- unravel into a political game of unintended consequences.

This is an early scratch performance for an audience of 120 people. It builds on the audience-led theatre of Coney’s "A Small Town Anywhere"

Wow

This should be good -

This summer, in the shade of Waterloo, be transported back to 1977 Brooklyn as Everyman & The Old Vic Tunnels celebrate cinemas most iconic disco classic, Saturday Night Fever. Combining film with live music, disco dancers and a custom built New York streetscape beneath the streets of London, experience an immersive cinematic event like no other.

The underground streets will be littered with places to visit and things to explore. You can drop into the pizza joint for a couple of slices; try your luck at the gaming arcade; b*y a few drinks at the strip club; rummage through our dress-up rack at the vintage boutique; roast some marshmallows over a flaming trashcan; pop into the 'paint' store for some candy; or stay up until the wee hours at the 2001 Odyssey Disco.

No need to spend your evenings anywhere else because there’ll be surprises for all, long after the film has stopped rolling.

Down beneath the city, disco's getting gritty

It's in Sheffield


Friday 22nd June to Sunday 24th June 2012
6:30pm to 10:30pm nightly
£10 per person
20 minutes of pure terror!

This is not a normal scare attraction, this is not going to be a laugh with your friends, and this is not going to be pleasant!

Project: Fear, an Xtreme theatre act that will plunge you into a world of real life scenarios where you will have the decision of how far you want to go. You will be alone, you will be alone and, did we mention, you will be alone!

How far is too far? Where does the line between reality and fantasy blur? How far can YOU be pushed? Will you think this is just a bit of fun while others find it depraved and sick? These questions will be answered inside the most intense dark attraction you will ever have visited. We challenge you to push yourself; we challenge you not to shout the safety word and make it the whole way through and we challenge you to be part of the exclusive 150 club and see the show in all its heart stopping, twisted, unhinged glory.

Project: Fear is strictly for over 18’s and for those who are not easily offended, are mature enough to handle what’s inside and for those that would like to take their fear factor to the next level.

Torture, torment, abuse, filth, religion, darkness, sexual content, gore, extreme physical contact, drugs, simulated interrogation, terrorism and full-frontal male and female nudity. If you are offended by any of this, don’t book a ticket. If you feel you may not like to experience any of these things, don’t book a ticket. If you think that, perhaps, this may not be for you, don’t book a ticket.Why not pop along to a seaside scare attraction where you can hold on to your friends shoulders, laugh along with them and take comfort in the fact that, Project: Fear was probably overhyped anyway and reassure yourself that it was probably not that good a show! If, however, you want to experience a one-off, never to be repeated event that WILL rip up the rulebook, spit on its plush bound leather cover, take you to a place you will never visit again and be one of only 150 people who will see it click here and book your place now!

We recommend you explore this website and read ALL the terms & conditions before booking. Once your place is secure you are committed so make sure you are 100% happy with what you are doing. On the night you will be asked to sign a waiver, failure to sign this will result in you not entering the show and NO refunds will be given. Take it all in, ask yourself if you are up for the challenge and then, when you’re completely happy, book your place.

This could be really fun (It's for this weekend) -

Hotel Indigo London Tower Hill is offering visitors the chance to become part of ‘The Hit’; an interactive theatre experience inspired by the hotel’s location in the heart of London’s financial district.

Available exclusively for three nights from 25 – 27 May, the audience will be swept up in the story as the drama unfolds with an escapade centred on the hotel’s historic past as a prestigious bank.

The action will take place throughout various areas of the hotel where the audience will be immersed in an incredible live performance. You will become part of the drama as it unfolds around the story of an historic heist, greed, deception and a lover’s tal
