A Moment of Madness
TUESDAY 25 MAY, 2.00PM–THURSDAY 27 MAY, 7.00PM
As the press gather for a big announcement on the new environmental bill, a politician’s future hangs in the balance.
Thrust into the heart of a spy thriller, you’ll navigate the political scandal of the decade. Watching over a multi-storey car park, you must use every mode of surveillance to hunt down facts and intercept evidence. As agents of the state you will expose a complex network of corruption that threatens to destroy the UK’s path to environmental progress.
A Moment of Madness fuses compelling drama with real-time gameplay to create a visceral new live experience.
In a brand new format for 2021, audiences will take part online in teams of 2-4, taking active roles as MI5 agents from the comfort of their own homes.
‘It is immersive theatre at its best, where the audience actively lead the plot, to the point where it is entirely up to them how them how the production ends’ behindthearras.com on A Moment of Madness 2019
‘The Other Way Works is a dynamic young company that is successfully exploring the possibilities of what theatre can and might be.’ Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
