"Leaves a surreal, indelible mark like a vivid dream"
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ - London Theatre Reviews
"A dark, mystery-laden masterpiece." - Broadway World
“The best immersive show of 2024... it may take many more years for anything else to come close to it.” - Immersive Rumours
“Welcome to the office of Dr. Ligotti. You are his patient, in therapy for your vivid nightmares.
Or are you the participant in an experimental immersive experience?
The Manikins: a work in progress is NOT a work in progress.”
A ninety-minute performance by two actors for you, its single audience member and protagonist. The Manikins: a work in progress is a labyrinthine conspiracy, a cold war between dream and reality, a constantly transforming psychedelic world that slips like sand between your fingers.
Seize it while you can.
