We have left the old world for a new planet.
You are invited to the table to create an ideal society.
Are we doomed to repeat ourselves?
Build, risk, advance, succumb.
What happens next depends on you.
New Societies is an interactive piece of theatre which involves playing a strategic board game. All seating is around tables and is unreserved and allocated by the acting company upon arrival. Wheelchair users will be seated with their companions.
We are unable to admit latecomers and if you need to leave the theatre, unfortunately re-admittance will not be possible. The performance will begin promptly at 8:00pm.
Advisories: participatory experience.
