The hit choose-your-own theatrical adventure from immersive leaders, Broad Encounters.

“Bound to thrill” - Time Out

“Nothing less than magnificent.” - Stage Whispers

“Do not miss this extraordinary adventure.” - The Plus Ones

Embark upon a strange craft, helmed by the mysterious Captain. Descend to shimmering, new depths in a subterranean world, where an epic theatrical playground awaits your exploration, set across a vast 40 spaces in an abandoned theatre. 

Discover a seductive and decadent underworld of mystery, terrible sacrifice and sweet surrender in a performance experience like no other.

Melding music and theatre, circus and dance, cryptology and sci-fi, scent and taste, Love Lust Lost is a performance, an enigma, a quest, a hallucinogenic playground, and  above all, enthralling.

You are encouraged to move through the venue at your own pace, following the residents of this underworld, or charting your own course. Left or right, up or down, let your curiosity and instincts be your guide. 

Imbibe in some Dutch Courage before and after your journey at the bespoke bar, offering choice libations and salty bites.

I invite you to secure your passage. May you have fair winds and following seas. Now, prepare to dive… signed, Captain Anderson, The Captain E.V. Nautilus
