Cast Announced for STOREHOUSE starring Toby Jones
STOREHOUSE is a groundbreaking immersive production that promises to be one of the most artistically ambitious and large-scale theatre events ever staged in the UK. Audiences will enter a 9,000-square-meter underworld, where humanity's stories have been archived since the dawn of the internet. The show is presented by Sage & Jester, a new collective that merges cutting-edge technology, immersive theatre, and storytelling.
The Story
STOREHOUSE explores the nature of truth, trust, and the narratives that shape our world. It delves into an underground collective’s mission to store and analyze all human knowledge, in the hope of creating a new digital consciousness. The production takes place in a digital labyrinth, filled with every piece of information ever shared, from news stories to memes. As the final founder fades and secrets unravel, the true cost of controlling the narrative becomes apparent, leaving the audience to navigate choices that will determine the future of this fragile world.
