‘The Drowned’ have been haunting the town for generations, their purgatory  is making the once benign souls more malevolent, and the Townspeople need help to exorcise them. A call for Paranormal Investigators has been  issued by the town to discover the secret behind the haunting; in the hope  that the souls will then move on and release the Town’s people from the fear  that has gripped them for so long.  

‘The Drowned’ is a Halloween immersive theatre experience inspired by  ‘Cantre’r Gwaelod’ (Welsh Folktale). The gate to the town is left open and the  sea floods the village, drowning the villagers who were making their way to  safety with their belongings to the church. ‘The Drowned’ takes this concept  and goes one step further. The souls that were lost in the flood are stuck in  purgatory destined to make their way every night to the church with their  belongings.  

Immersive theatre brings together all the elements of theatre but merges the  space between the performer and the audience so they both inhabit the same  space. This introduces the possibility of direct interaction allowing the  audience to become a participant in the story. It is like taking a step into your  favourite play, book or film and having the agency to change or influence what  happens. 

Eleanor Appleton the Creative Producer at EA Productions says “This is the  most exciting form of theatre to evolve in the last couple of decades and takes  theatre from a passive pastime into an active experience. I can still remember  the first immersive theatre experience I went to in minute detail, and it was  over 15yrs ago. That is why I want to produce this sort of work, because of the  lasting impression it can have on audience members”.  

The Drowned is taking place at The Tabernacle in Llandudno and runs from the  20th – 23rd and from the 26th – 31st of October, tickets can be booked here –
