Escape Christmas and enter the world of Ontroerend Goed– one of the world’s most exciting, sexy, and dangerous theatre companies. The most talked about show in Edinburgh and direct from an European tour, Audience makes its London premiere at Soho Theatre, created and produced by the multi-award winning team behind global hits Internal, The Smile Off Your Face and Once and For All We’re Gonna Tell You Who We Are So Shut Up and Listen. Using comedy and suggestion to examine and subvert the interplay between audience and performer, psychology and theatre, Audience becomes a study of humanity itself.
