Join the party - live on stage!

Gatecrash by Zest Theatre will be at The Civic in Barnsley on March 1 to March 4 and Cast in Doncaster from March 8 to March 11.

The production utilises Silent Disco technology to get young audiences directly involved in the show.

Audiences of young people become gatecrashers as they infiltrate an intimate gathering, using Silent Disco headphones to either listen to the variety of simultaneous conversations happening around the room or to just dance to the music.

In a custom-built living room, partygoers have complete freedom of movement to eat, drink, look through the bookshelves, join in the games and make as much noise as they like as they add to the chaos of a disastrous birthday party.

With his parents on holiday, Sam is having a house party but his sister invites the audience.

Writer and director Toby Ealden said: “Using Silent Disco headphones, not only can we make actors’ voices audible over the noise of the party, but it brings the exciting addition of performing dual content simultaneously.

“This means that whilst the 60 people in each show attended the same party, no two people’s experience will be the same.

“Gatecrash puts young audiences in the centre of the action and let’s them experience theatre on their terms.

“It’s fun, energetic and sometimes just very messy.”
