Whispered stories, half-remembered warnings and long-held superstitions that most performers dismiss... until they can’t. When the theatre doors close, something shifts and what should be fiction starts to feel dangerously real. Expect the unexpected as reality and storytelling begin to blur, plunging you
into a shadowed world where nothing is as it seems. BLACKOUT puts you inside the experience, where every movement, sound and shadow pulls you deeper into the dark. Brace yourself for unnerving twists, creeping shadows, and moments that will make your heart race. Because fear loves an audience. Age restriction: 15+
