The House Never Wins

The House Never Wins

Kill The Cat

*THIS SHOW MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE*

Plummeting insect numbers. A sixth mass extinction. Thinning of ice sheets. Sea level rise.

We could all do with a distraction. Take a seat at the table, get ready to play. (There’s a real cash prize at stake.) The House is on fire.

A new interactive game/theatre piece that you can play from the comfort of your own home by exploring the climate crisis and gambling with the planet’s future. Originally commissioned by Upstart Theatre as part of DARE Festival 2019. Supported by Arts Council England, Shoreditch Town Hall, Camden People’s Theatre, Ovalhouse, and Maketank.

★★★★ London Theatre Reviews “Far more than alternative lockdown entertainment, The House Never Wins paves the way for an exciting new wave of immersive theatre”

★★★★ Within Her Words “the best interactive/online virtual experience I’ve seen since lockdown”

★★★★ The Okay-ish Blog “uniquely planned and fantastically executed…weaves the audience along a deeply engaging path of darkly witty commentary, facilitation and game-play. It proves a perfect experience for all those currently feeling starved of innovative, exciting new fringe work” The PRSD “Imaginative, engaging, unnerving, wrong-footing and ultimately worrying. You are left questioning your own behaviour and that of the other audience members”

Kill The Cat is the collaboration between theatre-makers Madeleine Allardice and Dylan Frankland: makers of bold interactive theatre described as having the ability ‘to start a new movement in theatre’ (PRSD). Their work explores difficult social issues such as mental health, loneliness and the climate crisis in inventive ways.

Running Time: 90 mins
