The Waiting Room
An immersive one-to-one journey
As part of her final year performance project, Hannah was the director of The Waiting Room.
The Show
Welcome to your life. There’s no turning back…
Join us for an extraordinary immersive experience as we take you on a journey that you won’t forget! Where are you? Where are you heading? Are you going to be you forever? Drawing on a range of sources this playful environmental performance asks us to reconsider our individual place in the world and how we relate to those around us?
The Waiting Room is devised and designed by a company of final year undergraduates in the School of Performance and Cultural Industries. It offers a bespoke theatrical experience that places you at the heart of a journey through our mysterious world. Nothing ever lasts forever.
This performance is an individual journey through a series of environments, including one-to-one interactions.
