The creators of smash-hit Bin Laden: The One Man Show bring you Karel Čapek’s apocalyptic science-fiction satire re-imagined for a Europe of tomorrow, fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Deep in the bowels of an oyster-dredging vessel, an ocean of opportunity arises as a new resource makes contact. Global risk and technological revolution come together in this immersive experience from internationally award-winning Knaїve Theatre with live surround sound installation by sonic artist Robert Bentall. Witness the rise and fall of a new(t) capitalism.

Produced in association with Royal Exchange Theatre, Square Chapel and Waterside.

The company will transform the stage of The Bunker into the hull of a ship; cast as refugees displaced by some as yet unknown global catastrophe, spectators will cross a threshold upon entering the space, greeted by androids and addressed by disembodied voices through television screens.

We have a discount code (NEWTS14) that can be used on performances from 9th-13th October
