District Theatre take over London’s abandoned office spaces for virtual production
District Theatre has created a brand new piece of digital theatre by giving a new lease of life to disused office buildings across London.
Performed and streamed live on Zoom from an abandoned workspace, Murder on the 28th Floor is a fast-paced and hilarious reunion for teams stuck working from home.
This interactive and uniquely immersive whodunit will see actors taking over a usually familiar space for many, clad in a multitude of wigs and fake moustaches!
The theatre company provides the perfect chance to see your colleagues virtually over something that is not work related! Viewers will be able to interrogate potential suspects, solve crimes and play incredibly silly games.
Artistic Director, Marie Hamilton, said: “For nearly seven months many people have been working remotely and only seeing their colleagues through a screen – we can’t change that, but we can flip it on its head and make a group call an absolute riot. It’s so important to laugh, no matter how dark things get.”
Co-Artistic Director, Christian Loveless, adds: “We wanted to make a show that would make the Zoom platform an advantage rather than taking anything away, and by using multiple laptops we realised we could do a scene-change in a second. The concept for the show was just a combination of what we thought would be the most fun – 80s-style cops, very high stakes, montage music and epic corridor chases – but in the very ordinary setting of an office block.”
