Secret Cinema

This is a totally immersive and unique experience, taking cinema-goers into the beating heart of the film they've chosen by putting on a theatrical production filled with actors and live-action. With an aim to allow anyone to step into their favourite film, they create massive, elaborate productions that allow you to interact with the characters and become one of the cast.
