The Gunpowder Plot: The Immersive Experience "Woeful. Save your money. Go see the excellent War of the Worlds around the corner instead"…

Last Friday night Stuart and I went to see The Gunpowder Plot immersive experience.

Where to be begin?  Unlike the excellent sister production War of the Worlds this was just woeful. No glitz here to be found here.

A bad idea, badly executed. The story was confusing and boring, the production half-assed, and the particular session on the night we went - a mess. Too many people were pushed into our group so there weren’t enough robes or headsets to go around. 
 
The first VR on a 'zip wire' was fun - the rest was ropey at best. 
 
We thought we were in the Matrix - we saw big green squares blocking our view and also a large shining cage column of orange that meant we couldn’t see to our left. 
 
The script was laughable - and that’s exactly what people in our group did - they laughed at it. 

Hiding and bored in a Priest Hole I was all for bursting out, shouting SURPRISE! and singing Happy Birthday To You to liven things up. (I didn’t though).
 
Save your money. Go see the excellent War of the Worlds around the corner instead.
 
We had fun in the robes though!
