Immersive theatre company Punchdrunk is once again extending its new show Viola’s Room at One Cartridge Place in London.
The show had already extended to 15 September 2024, and now due to unprecedented demand the show is extending again, this time to 3 November 2024.
Viola’s Room is also rejigging its Wednesday matinees schedule from 31 July for the summer holidays, with performances starting from 2pm to 8.20pm.
The show is PG13 and suitable for adventurous teenagers.
Barefoot, and wearing headphones, small groups of up to six at a time feel their way through a maze-like installation as an unseen narrator – Hollywood star Helen Bonham Carter – guides them on a sensory journey to reveal a story of innocence lost and obsession unleashed.
Viola’s Room is written by Booker Prize-shortlisted Daisy Johnson, and reimagines Barry Pain’s classic gothic mystery The Moon-Slave for a new audience. It distils two decades of Punchdrunk’s immersive practice into an intimate, linear, audio-driven adventure that promises to suffuse the dreams of those who dare to follow the light.
The show opened in May, check out reviews of Viola’s Room here.
The production is conceived, directed and designed by Artistic Director Felix Barrett, with co-direction by Associate Director Hector Harkness (One Night, Long Ago; The Third Day) and design by Casey Jay Andrews (The Burnt City), Lighting Design by Simon Wilkinson (Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks), and Sound Designer Gareth Fry (Macbeth, Complicité’s The Encounter).
Viola’s Room is playing at One Cartridge Place Woolwich to 3 November 2024.
