Punchdrunk The Burnt City

Enter a world of Gods and mortals...

Experience the epic new world from Punchdrunk, ‘the world-conquering theatre rebels’ (Evening Standard), as the greatest of Greek tragedies is transported to a sprawling dystopian labyrinth.

Amidst the moments surrounding the fall of Troy, a mythical world of gods and mortals rises from the ashes. Discover a colossal playground that you are free to explore. Move between the haunting palace of Greece to the pulsating neon back streets of downtown Troy. Follow strangers who emerge from the shadows and seek out tales hiding in the deepest parts of the city.

This will give you anonymity throughout the performance to help you feel empowered to explore at will, and also make you distinguishable from the performers.

If you have the option, wearing contact lenses is recommended.
