Crisis? What Crisis, COLAB Factory

If you've ever thought that you could do a better job than Britain's politicians, then now is the time to put yourself to the test. Described as 'a live-action board game', Crisis? What Crisis is the latest brainchild of immersive theatre company Parabolic which invites audiences into a thrilling narrative in which they must steer the country away from the brink of political collapse. This interactive production is set in 1979 during the Winter of Discontent, when civil unrest was rife across Britain, and each decision that participants make will affect the outcome of the plot, meaning that no two shows are the same.

As government special advisers, audience members will be able to live the experience of the decision makers who operate in the upper echelons of power by quelling riots, strikes and avoiding an economic crises. A cast of actors play the union leaders and nosy journalists who must be negotiated with in order to contain the situation.

With the Brexit crisis looming, the show will have particular resonance with our uncertain times. Do you have what it takes to avoid a vote of no confidence?
