Punchdrunk (theatre company)

Have you ever played pretend with your friends? You might have pretended to be pirates or princesses or even superheroes. Well, there are grown-ups who play pretend too, but they do it in front of lots of people and call it theatre. One group of grown-ups who really like to play pretend is called Punchdrunk.

Punchdrunk is a theatre company made up of lots of people who work together to put on really cool and exciting shows for people to watch. But they don't just act out a story on a stage like most shows. They make the whole building into a stage!

Imagine going on an adventure where you can explore a whole big house or building and find secret rooms and hidden passages. And while you're exploring, actors will be performing all around you, so you feel like you're really part of the story.

That's what a Punchdrunk show is like. They transform an old building, like a hotel or a school, into a magical world where the audience gets to be part of the story.

But it's not just about exploring and watching the actors. You can interact with them too! You might have to help them solve a puzzle or find a missing object. And the actors will make it feel like you're part of the story and that what you do really matters.

So, if you ever get a chance to go to a Punchdrunk show, get ready for a unique and exciting adventure where you get to be part of the story and explore a magical world.
