Immersive theatre company Punchdrunk has extended the run of their latest London experience, Lander 23 – A Live Action Video Game.

Lander 23 is now booking at Punchdrunk’s One Cartridge Place in Woolwich until 10 May 2026.

Conceived, directed and designed by Punchdrunk’s Felix Barrett (Paranormal Activity), the production combines physical theatre, team strategy, and pulse-pounding sci-fi thrills.

Blurring the boundaries between theatre, gaming, and live action role-play, Lander 23 casts audiences as the crew of a daring rescue and resource mission to a hostile, uncharted planet. The original Lander 23 team vanished without a trace while harvesting a powerful new energy source. Now, the mission is yours to finish – if you can survive it.

The experience divides players into two interdependent squads: Command (“Drivers”), who strategise and guide from the ship, and Ground Team (“Fields”), who explore the alien landscape wearing audio headsets. Communication is the only lifeline as threats close in and time runs out.

The creative team for Lander 23 also includes Co-Directors Kath Duggan and Joel Scott; Designers Livi Vaughan and Beatrice Minns; Lighting Designers Felix Barrett and Sarah Readman; Sound Designer Gareth Fry; Visual Designer (Video) Bruno Cordeiro; and Game System Creator Meaning Machine.

Previous Punchdrunk productions include Sleep No More and The Burnt City. Last year the immersive company produced Viola’s Room, a small-scale, linear immersive experience; and their young-audience arm, Punchdrunk Enrichment, produced Fireside Tales.
