Immersive theatre has come in for a bit of a beating recently with concerns around whether large scale shows really deliver the experience they promise, and about the safety of both performers and audiences. But companies such as Colab, led by Bertie Watkins, have been quietly getting on with the job, crafting skill and narratives with a series of smaller scale productions. Colab has now taken over a new space close to Elephant and Castle and launches it with a new piece, Crooks 1926, in which audiences are plunged into one family’s battle for supremacy in the heart of the Elephant and Castle. Expect Succession with South London accents in an evening that combines game mechanics with multi-stranded story-telling.
