This is theatre where you choose your own path. Begin at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, where gods and mortals mingle in celebration. Watch as the goddess Eris arrives uninvited, hurling a golden apple inscribed "To the Fairest" among the guests. Then witness the chaos that follows as Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite each claim the prize. Explore freely across multiple rooms and floors. Follow the goddesses through three interwoven story loops. Tackle quests and solve puzzles. Discover intimate one-on-one encounters in hidden chambers. Descend into the caves to uncover oracular truths. Or simply enjoy the cabaret, grab a drink, and watch the drama unfold from the main hall.You decide how deeply you want to engage. There's no single "correct" way to experience the story, every visit is unique! This new production has over three hours of additional story and interaction built into it so, whether you saw the original show or not, there are plenty of new stories to discover and fun to be had. Ticketing Structure 3-Hour Ticket: £45 Enter at the beginning.

Why This Matters Immersive theatre has long been the preserve of London, with ticket prices often exceeding £100+ and requiring costly travel and accommodation. Chronic Insanity is bringing that same production quality and ambition to Nottingham, at a fraction of the cost.

Its unique architecture, atmospheric spaces, and layered floors make it the perfect setting for mythological storytelling.
