Review of ‘Gatecrash’
Monday 20th October 2014 at Hartlepool Town Hall Theatre
I thought I was going to see a sit down theatre production. This was not the case!!
This was a unique, creative, action-packed experience!
Created by Zest Theatre; Gatecrash is about Sam’s house party and it kicks off by inviting you as a guest. You enter the set by knocking on Sam’s door and are given headsets.
The headsets allowed you to choose which characters conversations and storylines you listened to. For example; Sam’s hamster, two-timing arguments and everything that can go wrong when alcohol is at a house party and everyone is invited.
I was thrown in at the deep end as I was encouraged to participate in party games by the actors. There were lots of twists and turns and even a game of Twister!
I t was delivered in a realistic way- this could have been a real party!
Everyone around me was enjoying it. Zest Theatre says that theatre is meant to be accessible and excitable for young people. Judging by this show- they are succeeding.
If you get the chance and the show comes locally to you, you should definitely see this!
