ILLICIT SECRETS

18/08/2018 - 28/08/2018

Step back in time to 1940s Bletchley Park, a world of espionage, code breaking and secrets. It was here that men and women, both young and old, cracked German codes and unveiled war winning secrets, but these men and women kept secrets of their own, both from each other and the public.

Follow in the footsteps of real life cryptologists as Bletchley Park goes through its most pivotal moment. Crack codes and decipher messages to uncover their private lives and make the tough decision of whether to keep their secrets or spill the beans.

When it comes to an illicit past; is it better to be honest or stay silent?

How far could you take a white lie?

Illicit Secrets: Bletchley is an immersive and interactive show that combines code breaking and espionage with history and drama.

FOR KING AND COUNTRY

It's December 1940 and a Nazi invasion force has landed on the south coast of England. 

Operation Sealion is in full swing. For several weeks the invaders have been building up their forces on the coast, while the mighty Luftwaffe have pounded the RAF into submission. As the invasion force prepares to strike north and capture London, King Edward VIII refuses the resignation of British Prime Minister Lord Halifax, triggering a constitutional crisis.

Parliament is recalled, and with all the members of both houses meeting in Westminster, a small group of backbench MPs and their families - designated survivors - are taken to a secure location south of the river Thames. They are completely unaware of the imminent events that will thrust them into the limelight, and put the fate of the nation in their hands.

You are among those designated survivors. Your decisions will shape the course of history. Can you save the British people from Hitler and his Third Reich, or will the war be over by Christmas?

Imagine that you are in a familiar place – maybe your workplace, or even your own home – and you notice a door that you’ve never seen before. You’d swear it just appeared but it looks like it’s been there forever. Would you open it?

Morningstar is the story of what lies behind just such a door, and of the people who devote their lives to keeping such things secret. It is also a story of the tragedy of mankind, of the first sin and the final punishment.  

Morningstar is a free-roaming immersive experience – a puzzle of a story told by a small group of performers and an interactive environment. It lasts approximately one hour with no interval. It is inspired by a range of texts and cultural influences including Paradise Lost, The Bible, The X-Files, Stranger Things, and the Bioshock games.

Those of a nervous disposition may find the performance unsettling.

Under his orders, the famously haunted Old Carpet Factory is being reopened for the first time and you are invited to come and uncover its secrets.

INCOMING/EXODUS

A new society is coming; plagued by the suspicion of strangers, a system has evolved to meet the demands of an angry and fearful population. Incoming/Exodus is an interactive, immersive experience which challenges attitudes towards immigration, with your voice centre stage. 

You have been called upon to undertake a new form of civic duty, becoming immigration officers on behalf of a crumbling Government. Working collaboratively with your team, you must complete your assignment to make or break the new order.

In a world where humans have been turned into numbers, and the numbers are warped by those in power - will you break the system?

Incoming/Exodus is created by The Lab Collective who specialise in creating interactive and immersive theatre, creating live performance which transcends traditional forms to produce visceral experiences for the audience.  Treading the line between theatre, installation and live art, we empower the audience to collaborate in our work.
