The new production promises to take audiences on an ’emotional rollercoaster’
A new immersive theatre project titled Heartbreak Hotel will run at The Jetty in Greenwich next month.
The show will see The Jetty, which formerly served as a coal-unloading point for Blackwall Point Power Station, transformed into "an intricately designed purpose built structure where the audience check-in to an immersive and unique theatre event".
Heartbreak Hotel is produced by Managing Mayhem and Zebedee Productions and runs from 11 June 2015 (previews from 2 June).
According to press material:
On arrival, why not check in at the concierge desk opposite North Greenwich tube station to an experience that starts as soon as you set foot on the Greenwich Peninsula (right next to the O2). After a short walk, you'll discover an abandoned industrial jetty that has been turned into London's most exciting live arts venue. The Jetty offers the best in immersive theatre, live music, a pop-up cocktail bar, high-quality street food and spectacular views across the Thames.
Zoe Wellman of Zebedee Productions said: "Audience members are in for an emotional rollercoaster as we explore what it means to be Heartbroken, and the lengths people will go to overcome it. Unlike other immersive productions, where you have to hunt for the narrative, we bring the story to you."
The cast for Heartbreak Hotel is Lucy Benson-Brown, Natalia Campbell, Rebecca Oldfield, Jack Brown, Ashley Campbell, William Harrison-Wallace and Tom Radford.
The production is booking until 30 August.
