WHAT THE CREATIVE TEAM HAD TO SAY

Before opening, we spoke to Danny Robins (Writer) and Hannah Price (Creative Director) about just what makes this experience different from the others.

“You are in it, it is like being inside a film. You’ve got all these things coming at you” says Danny, adding that “we use virtual reality to bring Jacobean London to life around you”.

“We have found out so much about what these people were willing to risk… what is it that would allow people to think that’s the only way to make a change” asks Hannah.

“Well, they’re going to get to know the plotters. We’re asking the audience to make a decision” replies Danny.
At the end, Danny tells us that “so many of us grew up learning those words: ‘Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot’”, with Hannah adding “well, no-one’s going to forget this!”
