An immersive theatrical experience where fear and imagination collide, drawing the audience directly into a narrative that strips away conventional boundaries.
Blackout comes to the Theatre Royal on Friday 29 January 2027, starting at 19:30. It's an immersive theatrical experience that pulls the audience into a world where fear and imagination collide, and from the moment the curtain rises, you're drawn directly into the narrative. The production is built around the idea that there's no possibility of retreat once you're in, and it strips away the conventional boundaries that usually separate the stage from the seats.
As an immersive piece, it's less about sitting back and watching a story unfold from a distance and more about being part of the environment it creates. The description puts it as a place where fear and imagination meet, so it's the kind of thing that works best if you're happy to let your own head do some of the heavy lifting. The whole experience runs for about an hour and a half to two hours, and it can go with or without an interval, so it's a single evening's commitment rather than a full night.

If you're planning to go, the Theatre Royal is on New Road in Brighton, BN1 1SD. Standard tickets are £23.00, though that's a guide price and subject to change, so it's worth checking the latest before you book. With the 19:30 start, you'll be out well before midnight, and the show's length means you'll have a good chunk of theatre to get through without it stretching too far into the night.
