Fabulation Or, The Re-Education of Undine, follows successful and high-powered African-American publicist Undine Barnes Calles on an unexpected journey, after her smooth-talking husband disappears with her hard-earned fortune.

In this 2023 adaptation, Undine Barnes Calles, a viral sensation turned influencer mogul, grapples with her ending fame and a vanished fortune. Undine’s evolution from online sensation to influencer magnate adds a dynamic layer, exploring the complexities of identity and the pitfalls of fame. This production promises a gripping blend of relatable struggles, cautionary tales, and a compelling commentary on the influencer era.

Room 13

Created by Immersive Octopus
An Immersive Octopus and BAC Co-Production

This brand-new experiential horror from the director of 'Peaky Blinders: The Rise' and 'Doctor Who: Time Fracture' explores the remnants left behind by the BAC fire over 10 years ago.

Three people are sat on a red sofa on a stage, surrounded by red and pink confetti. There is one man on the left-hand side in jeans and a t-shirt, he has blonde hair in a ponytail and green paint in war-like markings across his face. The other two are women – one on the right-hand side of the sofa is wearing a green hoodie and combat boots, and the one in the centre is wearing orange joggers and is holding a cardboard box.

Good Sex

Dead Centre with Emilie Pine

How do you have sex on stage? How do you even have sex? Each night, two new performers try to find an answer.

A white man with piercing blue eyes is mostly in shadow, with only the right edge of his face in the light. He has blue tape all over his face, covering everything but his eyes, nostrils and mouth. He is holding some playing cards to his mouth as if he is about to eat them, his hand is in a blue latex medical glove.
