It is immediately clear that Punchdrunk’s new immersive show is a massive endeavour. It resembles a gallery of antiquities on arrival: there are snaking queues, phased entrances for crowd control and a row of ancient vases, libation bowls and headdresses in glass displays.
The promenade show, a modern enactment of life in the ancient fallen city of Troy, is arranged across three Grade II-listed buildings, which comprise the company’s new home, and 54 performers portray 28 characters.
