Chronic Insanity

🔥THE WITCH TRIALS🔥
📅 31 October | 12pm-6pm, various times
🎟 Ticket link in bio. PWYC.

An immersive theatre experience hidden throughout the Samhain Pagan Market, on Sneinton Market Avenues.

Hidden behind Nottingham's Samhain Pagan Market is a story as old as time, a story about what goes on in the shadows and on the fringes of society, a story of witches...

The Headless Horseman is on the hunt, the witches are scattering, and other supernatural beings are coming out to play in the chaos. Watch the action unfold over the course of the market, or get stuck in and try to rewrite history. This is an immersive production told throughout the day where you can be a part of the action and influence the outcome of the story. Will you sabotage the Horseman's plans, help the witches evade capture, or fulfill the other quests woven into the market to try and influence the trial in other ways? The choice is up to you!

Just book a ticket at the link below and turn up to the Samhain Pagan Market anytime between midday and 6pm (we'll send you more details about where to find us that morning), and have some immersive theatre fun 🙂

Fresh off our sell-out ★★★★★ show Apple of Discord, award winning immersive theatre company Chronic Insanity are back with an early taste of an upcoming project this Halloween.

Reflecting on our Ed Fringe show and still can’t quite believe what a brilliant time we had of it :) got to perform our new show Horrorshow 7 times, ending on a standing ovation, got a bunch of great reviews and an award to boot. Also, saw our first jubensha on sale at a board game shop, got to perform at one of our favourite spaces at the festival, and stayed in a spare room with our previous smash hit Ed Fringe show on the wall :p

We’ll see what next year brings!
