Punchdrunk
Punchdrunk is an immersive theatre company set up in 2000 by Felix Barret. When studying theatre at Exeter University he found himself unsatisfied with conventional venues and fell in love with site-specific theatre. This is what prompted him to essentially reinvent theatre into a brand new experience. Punchdrunk performances usually last around three hours and audiences are lead into a large repurpose building/ area (e.g. a warehouse). The special part about Punchdrunk is that no audience have the same experience, people are free to move around as they please watching anuy character that peaks their interest. You are not even limited to watching characters, you can spend hours exploring the immense depth of the set finding small easter eggs referencing the text that the performance is based on. If you are lucky you can be included in the action.
