Take a trip back to the 1920s London underworld

By Caroline King - February 11, 2020Posted in : Cabaret, FEATURED-CONTENT, Theatre

Plunge yourself deep into the gritty, criminal underworld of 1920s London with CROOKS 1926, a new immersive experience.

This February and March, COLAB will be staging their most ambitious project to date; where game mechanics will collide with a pulsing, hair-raising narrative. CROOKS 1926 will give audiences the chance to throw themselves into one family’s brutal battle for supremacy, set in the heart of Elephant and Castle.

In a world where nothing is certain, violence is rampant, and bargains are made to be broken, the audience will have complete autonomy to shape their own thrilling experience. While some might to choose to orchestrate a grand territorial takeover of London or broker an alliance with The West End Boys, others might ‘go it alone’ by scheming with a devious traitor. The choice lies solely with the audience, meaning that no two shows are the same.

The immersive theatre company, COLAB, will be debuting CROOKS 1926 at their brand new, permanently dedicated space in South London.

When: 12th February – 29th March 2020
Where: King William IV, 16 Harper Road, London SE1 6AD
£: Tickets cost £28 (Suitable for ages 18+)
