Frequently asked questions
What is immersive theatre?
Immersive theatre includes shows where the audiences are part of the action. Often, immersive theatre takes place at a large venue that's wholly transformed to reflect the world of the show, and audiences get to explore the world and encounter performances occurring all around them.
What is immersive vs. interactive theatre?
Immersive theatre often invites the audience to walk around, interact with the performers, and enter the plot in a nontraditional theatre setting. At interactive theatre, audiences still get to interact with the performers (like at young children's shows), but they might be in a more traditional setting for all or part of the time. All immersive theatre is interactive, but not all interactive theatre is immersive, even though the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
What are the best immersive theatre experiences in London?
The long-running Punchdrunk: The Burnt City, an immersive experience inspired by Greek myths, gods, and heroes, is a popular show, along with a new immersive revival of Guys & Dolls with rave reviews. Secret Cinema's events are also great options for immersive theatre, allowing audiences to go on new, original adventures in the worlds of famous films and TV shows. Tickets to all these events are available on London Theatre now.
