3rd Ring Out: the Emergency

Photography | Simon Daw

An intelligent audience-led thriller

If it’s not perfect in execution, this piece is both intriguing and thought-provoking. The audience is ushered into a container functioning as an emergency response room and required to make life-and-death decisions about an ecological catastrophe in Norfolk. An intelligently employed multi-media interactive element makes this something of an audience-led thriller with ideological revelations becoming as dramatic as the floods and heatwaves outside.

Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, until 28 Aug, times vary, £7.50–£9 (£6–£8).
