I was in Manchester at the weekend and went along. You go in very small groups (about half a dozen) and failed Gordon Brown assassin James Purnell was in mine, which was a bit odd.
It's a mixture of immersive theatre (from Punch Drunk, a pretty amazing company who specialize in this stuff) and an Adam Curtis documentary, which is at the centre, both thematically and temporally/ geographically, of the piece.
It's pretty unique stuff, and the attention to detail in the sets of the first third is just incredible. I thought the doc was a bit weak, though - like a parody of a Curtis documentary, all clever cutting and juxtaposition but not much substance. Well worth a look though, northern correspondents...Any of you seen it?
