Directed by Mark Eaton
and
Improvised by the actors
The Turnaround Theatre Company now presents a theatrical experiment that promises to be explosive and compulsive. You've heard of Reality TV. In fact, you've been there, done that and paid the phone bill. Well, now comes Reality Theatre. A funny, moving and shocking experience never before seen on the stage.
The Big Bother housemates are all competing for the �1 million prize money and the lucrative deals they can secure in the aftermath.
If they can survive their set challenges, the chickens in the garden and the mind games of their fellow desperate contestants, then surely fame will follow?
Their only problem is that the audience has the power to evict them. Their fate and the shape of the play are in your hands!
As they head towards possible disaster your mercy may also be their only chance of escape. The price of their freedom may be more than they were prepared to bargain for as their lives become inextricably altered. Come and be consumed by this unforgettable chance to make theatre feel real!
