Drama will take place behind the scenes of a Lancaster theatre on March 14-15.
The Dukes has joined forces with The Alligator Club, a North West professional playwrights’ collective, to present twice-nightly performances of Blackout.
This walkabout show is set in the hidden spaces of The Dukes which the public doesn’t usually have chance to see. The wardrobe department and green room are just two of the locations where the drama will take place.
Blackout is set in the future where every theatre, apart from one, has died. It is the last opportunity to join a hologram guided tour of this bygone building before it shuts its doors forever.
The audience, limited to groups of up to 20—aged 16-plus—for each show, will experience a play in motion and every performance will be different.
Blackout will be directed by The Dukes associate director Louie Ingham and is the latest stage in the development of The Alligator Club which already has two sell-out shows under its belt and aims to create experimental writer-led theatre shows for the wider north west region.
