[Tech1] Immersive Theatre

[Garth Tucker]

Immersive theatre has been around for a while now (Punchdrunk were amongst the first with 'The Masque of the Red Death’ in 2007). However, my granddaughter is now acting in another, ‘The Gunpowder Plot’ in the Tower of London Vaults. I would think the use of Virtual Reality Headsets has helped put spice into the experience. To be ‘flown’ across the 1605 Thames leaving solid ground behind can be quite exhilarating. To be in a rowing boat on the Thames being rammed is close to scarifying. I assume ‘Phantom Peak’ had similar experiences Bernie.
