Stepping into the Shadows: Punchdrunk’s Viola’s Room Redefines Immersive Theater
Viola's Room, Punchdrunk's latest immersive production, is an intimate, audio-driven experience that marks a significant departure from the sprawling, open-world shows the company is famous for, such as The Burnt City. Set in their Woolwich home, Viola's Room is a gothic, sensory journey based on Barry Pain’s short story The Moon Slave, reimagined for a modern audience by Booker Prize-shortlisted author Daisy Johnson. With narration by Helena Bonham Carter, this eerie production explores themes of absence, loss, and the ethereal boundaries between reality and dreams​.
