Punchdrunk’s The Burnt City
The OG immersive theatre company Punchdrunk have returned with a new production and wow have they knocked it out of the park. The Burnt City is a retelling of the fall of Troy where you can choose your journey. Set in an enormous warehouse of winding corridors and huge open spaces, there are over 100 rooms to explore. And you can pick where to go, who to watch, this is your choice, your experience.

From the very moment you enter the venue, accompanied by the hair-tingling Every Reborn by Dario Marianelli, you are surrounded by beautifully eerie sets and striking cast members. Over the 3 hour performance you feel as if you are lost in time and space. There are no cameras, no phones, just you taking in the wonder of the life and death. There is no better experience you can have in London right now.
