Describing the production, a Wiltshire Creative spokesperson said: “Experiments plunge into darkness. Strange disturbances ripple through twisting corridors and as the house tightens its grip, it will leave you on the edge of your seat and questioning what is real, long after the curtain falls.”

The show is directed by award-winning Martin Constantine whose credits include Peter Pan (Storyhouse Theatre, Chester), The Owl and the Pussycat (UK tour), Manga Sister (The Yard Theatre), The Future for Beginners (Wales Millennium Centre/Edinburgh Festival Fringe), Marsha (Arcola Theatre).
