Immersive theatre company Punchdrunk has created an interactive theatrical spectacle in association with Playstation 3 to terrify and torment an audience who act as viewer, participant and protagonist. The longer they survive as characters in the experience, the more they will get to see.

'And Darkness Descended' is a prequel to the video game Resistance 3, and is set in an alternate universe in which hostile aliens invade Russia during World War II. Taking place under the Waterloo Station arches, the production will explore the events that lead up to the beginning of the new game, providing a truly unique and interactive introduction to the title.

Audience members will band together to form the human resistance and will require teamwork and co-operation to ‘survive’, as tasks will need to be overcome to avoid being eliminated. The audience participation within the theatre of the production hopes to provide a truly realistic experience and Punchdrunk’s expertise in the field will surely provide a truly thrilling atmosphere. The fear factor is promised to be high on the agenda.

The production will take place from the 1st to the 4th of September.
