Punchdrunk is a British theatre company, formed in 2000 by Felix Barrett.[1]
The company developed a form of immersive theatre in which no audience member will have the same experience as another. The audience is free to choose what to watch and where to go.[2][3][4] The format is related to promenade theatre, but uses audience immersion more extensively.[5][4] The company has been recognized for its unique uses of sound, light, movement and environment. In 2015, Punchdrunk formed a new company, Punchdrunk International, which produces a selection of Punchdrunk's commercial productions for national and international audiences.
The company is a National Portfolio Organisation with Arts Council England.[6]
