RING
You may not know us by name, but we will probably seem familiar. Maybe we have driven you home, engaged you in small talk, smiled at you across a crowded train
We are the reassuring voices in your ear (not the ones in your head - they are your own business)
You are already a valued member of the group and we're thinking about you more and more
Ring is a sound journey in complete darkness and an antidote to choice
The audience wear headphones that amplify the intimate details of the room, transporting you to another room that is very similar to the one that you entered
But in this room you have been recognised

This is experiential theatre in the true sense of the word, and is a powerful and provocative work … Works like these redefine theatre … I urge you to take part in this unique and innovative work. I guarantee it will be unlike anything you've experienced - Emma Cole, One Stop Arts ★★★★★
This piece is disconcerting, unnerving, intense, captivating, extremely clever, intriguing and unique … I cannot recommend it highly enough, this is an absolute must “see” - Rhiannon Lawson, Whatsonstage ★★★★★
I was left with a deep sense of unease that followed me from the shadows for the rest of the evening. I’m still not entirely clear what happened in that room, but I haven’t been affected by a show as profoundly in a long time - Olivia Solon, Wired
